Python brings traffic to standstill
Bumper-to-bumper traffic is a common sight in most Indian cities and can cause the most patient of people to get impatient.
However, there are also instances where people display patience when required. A great example of patience and humanity was visible recently when a nearly 6.5-foot-long python slithered out of a roadside bush and made its way across a busy street.
Commuters stopped their vehicles to allow the Indian rock python, a non-venomous snake, to cross the road in peace. The incident occurred on the busy Seaport-Airport Road in Kochi last Sunday, according to The New Indian Express.
A video of the incident on YouTube featured a number of cars and motorcycles parked in the middle of the road so that they would not run over the snake while it was crossing.
A few people could be seen standing quietly, watching the snake cross the road as it vanished into the bushes on reaching the other end of the road. –ndtv.com
