A five-year-old boy was rescued from the jaws of a 10ft python by his horrified dad as it tried to swallow him whole. Little Beau Blake was playing next to the pool at his home in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia when the waiting reptile struck.
The youngster was then bitten, constricted and dragged into the swimming pool by the monster snake, which was roughly three times his size, the Daily Star reports.
Pythons are known to squeeze their prey to death within just a couple of minutes before swallowing them whole - with their victims including humans on rare occasions.
