This giant python found in Malaysia measures 7.92 m long, longer than the longest python in the world recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

Recently, people in Malaysia captured a  giant python  , up to 7.92 m long and will most likely set a new record for the largest python ever captured. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the largest python ever captured was 7.62 meters long and currently lives in Missouri, United States.

Specifically, construction workers found this  giant python monster  in Paya Terubong, a district in the tourist paradise of Penang, Malaysia.

After the discovery, these workers immediately called the fire department for help. Upon receiving the news, firefighters and authorities arrived at the scene and it took 30 minutes to control the python.

According to Herme Herisyam, an employee of the Malaysian Civil Defence Agency, the python was about 8 meters long and weighed about 250 kg.

If confirmed, this will be the largest python in the world, usurping the Medusa python, the python that holds the Guinness World Record with a length of 7.62 m and a weight of 160 kg.

Like Medusa, the  Malaysian giant python  also belongs to the reticulated python species, also known as reticulated python, king python, scientific name Python reticulatus, a type of large-sized python, belonging to the Pythonidae family and the genus of the same name Python, living in the Southeast Asia region.

Reticulated pythons have long, small heads that are light yellow or brown in color, with a thin dark gray stripe running halfway from the snout to the nape of the neck and connecting to the marking on the back. Another black stripe behind the eye runs diagonally to the corner of the mouth. On the body and tail are dark gray lines connected to each other to form the shape of a lower eye floating on a yellowish-brown background.
