A huge snake was found lurking behind a Chinese restaurant in Bangkok.
The 8 metre snake needed the strength of 17 firefighters to be lifted from the ground and is estimated to weigh around 150 kg.
However, an average reptile of this kind averages up to three to six metres.
The reptile was discovered by the staff behind the restaurant in Thonburi, Bangkok, Thailand and is believed to be python reticulatus.
Once the snake was measured it was released in its habitat.
