Reportedly there are 11 kinds of pythons that exist in the world, mainly in Asia and Africa. Each one more deadly than the last. While some people keep them as house pets, they are not to be messed with. Although that’s kind of a given. Pythons are known to strike without warning and that’s especially true for one Indonesian local. Wa Tiba simply went to go check on her corn when the unexpected happened – a python struck and swallowed her whole.

This is actually the second time in not even a year that an Indonesian villager was swallowed whole by a python. However this specific snake species is rather common in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia, although it is highly rare for them to attack humans. Unfortunately Wa Tiba paid the ultimate price. But could she have averted danger? And how did she even find herself in such a terrible situation?

Muna is an island located in the Southeast Sulawesi province of Indonesia, home to Wa Tiba. Some 268K people reside in the island. 54 year old Wa Tiba left her home on Muna island so that she could visit her cornfield, according to the Jakarta Post. How little did she know what dangers were waiting for that fated day.
