A pig farmer in Caraga, Davao Oriental initially believed his pet had been stolen after spotting an abandoned sack nearby.

However, upon closer inspection, he realized the "sack" was actually a large python with a swollen belly.

In a report by Kuya Kim Atienza on 24 Oras Thursday, Ferdinand Burgos shared that he found the snake inside his only pet pig’s pen.

"Nagulat lang ako na 'yung baboy, kinain na. Malungkot, sir, kasi wala na akong pakainin," Burgos said.

Residents in the area had previously reported missing pets, mostly chickens, suspected to be the work of a python that always managed to escape.

This time, however, after consuming an animal as large as a pig, the snake was too full to leave the pen, leading to its capture.

Burgos immediately contacted the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Caraga to take the python away.

Although he initially hoped his pet might still be saved, it was too late.

Authorities reportedly assured him that his pig would be replaced.

According to Kuya Kim, the culprit was a reticulated python.

"Ika-cut off nila 'yung blood circulation [ng victim] and then, kapag namatay na siya or nanghina na siya, lulunukin na lang ito," explained herpetologist Jazz Ong, describing how pythons consume prey.

Pythons can swallow animals much larger than their heads due to elastic tissues connecting their cranium and lower jaw.

"That enables them to stretch their mouths to consume prey that's much larger than their heads," Ong added.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable.

In a previous report by KAMI, two suspects were arrested in Liloan, Cebu for offering women to drinking men inside a bar.
