Last week, motorists in China experienced the shock of their lives when a python snaked through the passenger window while driving.
Yiyang (China) – Some things in life are just too strange to believe.
Unless you see them with your own eyes.
At the beginning of July, a scene took place on a highway in the southern Chinese province of Hunan that took your breath away.

Imagine you are on your way to work, take the freeway and drive comfortably.
Suddenly, some distance in front of you, you spot a small white car with something long yellow on it.
You might think, "Yeah, what kind of unsecured rubbish is he transporting there".
They approach the vehicle and are shocked to discover that it is a live animal.
Namely a huge, gold-colored python.
The beautiful and very impressive reptile somehow made it through the passenger window to the rear window.
The driver may have been hot and opened the window while driving.
But now the snake is hanging across the trunk and is in danger of falling, as Asian media reports.
Eyewitnesses film the dramatic scene and post the clip online.
Since then it has been shared multiple times.

And in fact, almost an accident happens during the crazy drive: The reptile falls off the car and plops directly onto the road.
Luckily, the approaching vehicles were able to get out of the way in time.
The approximately five meter long python remained largely unharmed and was rescued by the alarmed Autobahnmeisterei.
Now the police are looking for the owner.
According to the Asian media, this is probably an albino tiger python.
They are known for their trusting nature and are popular pets with reptile enthusiasts, although the Burmese python is one of the largest snakes in the world.
Unfortunately, the video does not reveal why the owner transported his snake in this unusual way and what exactly happened in the car.
