a gigantic unknow 60 feet python caught in china

Do you belive its 140 years old too? lol I will take a pic of a track hoe bucket with a tape measure for ya.

Sometimes perspective can be a little skewed.


Take a look at this link for more examples.

If that bucket is even 4 feet across, the snake looks to be a little more than 20 feet.

I think it's Photoshopped.

That bucket in comparison to the dozer it's hooked up to is massive. I think that bucket would tip it over...hehe

[jason79]

Holy crap there is giant humans there too. lol

That bucket is 3' my ass.

Lets take that guy for instance.

Say he is 5' tall....thats relatively small considering.





and seeing how that man is standing BEHIND the snake, we can deduct that he is probably a few inches taller than he looks, JUST from perspective.

So then the bucket on that excavator is larger then the excavator itself? That's a pretty neat trick. Somewhere around here I've got an old polaroid of myself holding a walleye that's bigger then I am. You don't need photoshop to have fun playing with perspective.

using a snake measuring app:

and assuming the bucket is 4 feet across

I get somewhere in the vicinity of low 20s.

I don't think there is any doubt it's a big snake, but certainly no where near the holy-grail 30 feet, much less 60.

The bucket is the only thing we can use to distinguish relative size, as it is the only part of the picture that is relatively close to the snake.

LOL!!

yes...perspective.

Thats what this whole things is about.


Was merely trying to show how quick people jump to conclusions.

Snakes that big DO exsist....when someone sees one, or a picture of one...


How do you know the brand of Excavator it is? Dont they have replaceable scoops? They have close to a 10k backweight....so I doubt its gonna tip.

Just saying...two sides of the coin....dont hate the playa...hate the game.

I highly doubt that the bucket is 4 feet across. That excavator isn't that big.

the bucket being extended aprox 20ft in front of the excavator makes the bucket and snake appear much larger than they really are.that bucket at most is 4ft long. making the snake aprox 18-20 ft at most

Well first off I know its a small track hoe because the guy standing on the track is taller than the cab. I have seen and operated allot of heavy equipment and I have never seen a track hoe with a 10 foot tall bucket. The other thing is if a 60' python exists why is the longest snake ever measured on record just under 33'. I don't doubt there could be bigger ones out there but I do doubt there is a 60 footer.
