A woman has been found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in central Indonesia, a local official said Saturday, marking at least the fifth person to be devoured by a python in the country since 2017.

The husband of 45-year-old Farida and residents of Kalempang village in South Sulawesi province discovered her on Friday inside the reticulated python, which measured around five meters (16 feet).

The mother-of-four had gone missing Thursday night and failed to return home, forcing a search effort, village head Suardi Rosi told AFP.

    10yd is 30ft, post says 16ft.

    1 lonestar bottle is 9.09", 40x9.09=363.6" /12 for 30.3’ (shit your guess on the football field was close on that lmao), avg male bald eagle wingspan at 76.8", 76.8x5=384" /12=32’ (shit pretty close again).

    Though since the article specifies a 16ft snake, the snake is only about 21.5 lonestar bottles long.

      I was guessing based on half the length of a bowling lane. I thought the regulation length was 20 yards. The rest I know approximate values of because I like to convert to Lonestar bottles and bald eagle wingspans every time “anything but the metric system” comes up because I think it’s funny.

      I do the same thing for approximate weight in double quarter pounders with cheese which is about (but not exactly because I don’t care about that) 9 ounces cooked and assembled.
