A Dangerous Encounter

Posted By on September 8, 2011

An encounter with a 16 foot reticulated Python is not a funny matter. This man got lucky.

A 26 foot Python nailed Jack Badal and had him down on the exhibit floor. It took six men to uncoil the snake and John Dole, one of the trainers for the Los Angeles Zoo, to dislodge the bite. Jack was also lucky the Python did not have a good enough hold on him.

Jack Badal’s episode was in 1961…… So not to confuse you , this is not Jack in the photo.
