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.

    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.
