There have been many instances of human and wild interaction on the Internet. The most common one is between humans and reptiles. In the past, we have seen many instances where reptiles have crossed paths with humans. Here is one more such instance where a massive python crosses the road in Udaipur and the whole traffic comes to a standstill to allow the snake to cross the road.
The video taken by a fellow motorist shows how the snake crosses the road while the traffic comes to a standstill. There is a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga that can be spotted blocking the way of the other vehicles. While other cars patiently waited, many passengers came out of the vehicles and started making videos of the snake. The python looked like it just had food and was moving slowly across the street.
Many passers-by and motorists recorded this whole incident of the python crossing the road. Many people expressed their surprise at seeing such a massive reptile in the middle of a city road. In addition to this, many netizens also praised the patience of the motorists present on the road at the moment. The motorists, showing a great example of civic sense, allowed the python to cross the road without disturbing it or creating any hindrance in its way.
Numerous Rhino and animal attack
We have seen numerous wild animal attacks in the past. In a recent incident, a Rhino charged at a vehicle in which tourists were travelling in Assam. The video shows a rhinoceros emerging from a thick bush and chasing the tourist vehicle. The driver quickly sped up to escape the rhino. However, the video shows that the rhino did not give up and kept on chasing for a good amount of time before abandoning.
Preventative Measures
Fortunately, there are measures that can be taken to prevent python crossings and the dangers that they pose. Some of these measures include:
Fencing: Installing high fences along roads and highways can help prevent snakes from crossing and entering into populated areas.
Culverts: Providing underground culverts for snakes to use as crossing points can help channel them away from roads and highways.
Awareness campaigns: Raising awareness about the dangers of python crossings and the measures that can be taken to prevent them can help reduce the number of incidents.
Monitoring programs: Implementing monitoring programs to track the movement of pythons and identify areas, where crossings are more likely to occur, can help prevent future incidents.
Conclusion
Python crossings can be a major hazard for drivers, causing accidents, traffic disruptions, and even posing a threat to their safety. By taking the necessary preventative measures, we can help reduce the number of incidents and ensure the safety of drivers on our roads and highways.
