Python chokes man as he poses for selfie

A 100-foot python choked a ranger in India as he tried to take a selfie with the reptile.

According to Deccan Chronicle, ranger Sanjay Dutta and his team caught the massive snake after getting calls about the reptile killing and eating local goats. Dutta and his colleagues were able to track down the python, but instead of putting the snake in a sack to move it elsewhere, Dutta decided to wear the live animal like a feathered boa and take a picture with it.

In a video released Dutta can be seen walking away from the crowd while the python starts tightening its grip around his throat. However, the ranger is eventually helped by another man who assists him in pulling the powerful python off the ranger.
