CAN you spot the 10ft snake hidden in this car tyre?
The sinister python was found after killing a family's pet cat and its camouflage nearly provided it with the perfect hideout.
The blood-thirsty reptile mixed in with leaves and soil and it is still a challenge to spot it even when you know it is there.
But cool-headed fireman Jirawat Iamlamai, 28, had no problem locating it when he got a call for help.
He was contacted by Harithat Krueyai, 46, yesterday after her moggy went missing in Ang Thong, central Thailand.
Mr Imalamai, who turned up in a red vest with "snake wrangler" tattooed onto his right shoulder, suspected a reptile had eaten it.
He found the 10ft long snake coiled up in a tyre before he reached in with a single hand and plucked it out.
Python factfile Pythons are a constricting snake which feasts upon victims by coiling itself around them until they suffocate. There are 41 species of python according to the Reptile Database and are found in Asia, Africa and Australia. They mainly feast on small mammals and birds and will not usually attack humans unless they feel threatened. Pythons stay in relatively warm, wet climates. Many species are strong swimmers. Some can hold their breath for 30 minutes before surfacing. But they can't travel faster than one mile per hour. They move by stiffening their ribs for support against the ground then lifting their bellies and push themselves forward in what is known as a “rectilinear progression” movement. Some can live for 25 years or longer while the maximum lifespan is estimated at 35 years.
