A late night call alerted the Wildlife SOS team about a huge python roaming in the lawn of a house in Gurugram.
A 5-feet long rock python was rescued from the lawn of a house in Gurugram by the members of a Wildlife SOS on Wednesday.
The python created fear and panic among the inmates after which they called the Wildlife SOS on Tuesday on their 24-hour helpline number (+91-9871963535).
A late night call alerted the Wildlife SOS team about a huge python roaming in the lawn of a house in Gurugram. The family members were on a stroll when they heard a rustling sound from behind some potted plants. On finding the source of the sound, they immediately called the Wildlife SOS.
A team two snake rescuers reached the spot to rescue the python that was snuggled up between two closely placed pots. Even though it was a non-poisonous snake, it was a tedious job since it required swift skills to capture it.
The wildlife team said the snake must have crawled out of a nearby forest in search for small mammals like rodents, monitor lizards or birds and ended up in the lawn.
"We had come out for a walk when we spotted the snake at around 11 pm. I searched the for the wildlife number and then called on their helpline to help us get the snake out of the lawn," said Sankalp Jain, the house owner.
"The Indian Rock Pythons or Python molurus is often mistaken to be venomous and dangerous because of their appearance. The snake is huge, no doubt, but it is not venomous at all. They face a grave threat due to the prevalent misunderstanding and ignorance of the public and they are often killed when they are found in human surroundings. The Wildlife SOS hotline runs with an objective of helping people. It is a social service to assist public and prevent casualties on either side," said Kartick Satyanarayan, co-founder and CEO, Wildlife SOS.
"We request people supporting our cause to reach out to injured and distressed wildlife as soon as possible and encourage them to report such situations on our helpline number," added Wasim Akram, Manager Wildlife SOS Special Projects.
