6. One Tribe vs Giant Snakes

A native tribe in Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, resides beside giant python that grows over 7 meters long and can weigh over 75  kilograms. Almost a quarter of the Agta men have been victims of snake attack and bear the scars of the attack on their bodies. Between 1940s and 1970s, 6 people have been killed by these giant pythons, including two infants who had been swallowed alive. The tribe claims that every Agta man has killed at least one serpent in their life. The major reason behind such tension between humans and pythons is food, but lately with modernisations sweeping into every corner, many Agta people have given up living in the forests in their old primitive ways.
