00:00It's not just in the forest or in the zoo that you can see snakes.
00:03Because sometimes, they also take care of our homes.
00:08Those who are not in Ang Bisita are deadly.
00:10And here it is,
00:11it fits in the story of Amazing Number 3.
00:14There are snakes inside the house.
00:18Thailand.
00:20There are beautiful forests and lakes.
00:26But let's go back to the truth.
00:27The population here is already around 17 million,
00:30and it's still growing.
00:33This is now an urban jungle.
00:40But there are only a few who can quickly adapt to their surroundings.
00:44Like the snakes.
00:46Their path is inborn.
00:51This is the fastest path in any part of the city.
00:55But they are not alone.
00:58There is also the Burmese python,
01:01which can grow up to 16 feet long and weigh up to 160 pounds.
01:10The design of the tusks is perfect for the growth of its long body.
01:16It has a strong smell,
01:18but it doesn't use its nose or tail to find food.
01:28Here in Bangkok,
01:29almost 40,000 cases of home invasion are reported each year.
01:36This python is resilient.
01:42Sensitive.
01:44It's not afraid of humans.
01:47It's not afraid of snakes.
01:50It's not afraid of humans.
01:53It's not afraid of snakes.
01:56The pit organs of its nose are sensitive to heat.
02:01It uses this to see the mental image of its prey.
02:09It looks like a ghost in an infrared camera.
02:16But there are others in the bathroom.
02:19It must play because its target is the snake.
02:26The python's blood flow to the brain of the snake stops.
02:33Its snack is small,
02:34but because it is a low-energy hunter,
02:36it is enough for the next few days.
