A python about 7 meters long in Peru tried to hunt pigeons that were resting by climbing up a utility pole, but ended up being electrocuted, while its target pigeons escaped unscathed. This bizarre video has recently sparked heated discussion online, attracting millions of viewers.
The incident occurred in the central region of Seville, where residents witnessed the giant python coiling its way up a concrete utility pole, attempting to lunge at three pigeons at the top.
Just as the python opened its mouth to attack, it touched a high-voltage wire. Sparks flew from the snake's head instantly, and the pigeons scattered in fright. As the python fell from the pole, it struck the high-voltage wire again, receiving a second jolt before finally hitting the ground and dying.
Although the exact time of the incident is unknown, the footage went viral on social media after it was released on August 6. Some netizens questioned whether the video was generated by artificial intelligence, but experts noted that in tropical regions, it is indeed common for snakes to be accidentally electrocuted while searching for prey.
