Yes, you saw that right. A python has been seen taking a dip. Maybe it was the heat or possibly it was trying to catch some prey? While these questions remain unanswered, here's what the rest of SA has to say:
- "My people would be talking to it calling it their ancestor right now."
- "Pythons are normally someone's pet so that's a pet...or it would have reacted by now"
- 'Eeerh....RUN"
This begs the question, can snakes swim?
