A Kenyan man bit a python who wrapped him in its coils and hauled him up a tree in a struggle that lasted hours, local media said on Wednesday.

Farm manager Ben Nyaumbe was working at the weekend when the serpent, apparently hunting for livestock, struck in the Malindi area of Kenya's Indian Ocean coast.

I have this morbid fascination with monster snake stories, just got to point this one out!

When the snake coiled itself round his upper body, Mr Nyaumbe resorted to desperate measures: "I had to bite it."

The python dragged him up a tree, but when it eased its grip, Mr Nyaumbe said he was able to take a mobile phone out of his pocket and phone for help.

Sounds like one big snake to lift a person into the tree, that guy is one lucky bastard. So is the snake, because it got away to lurk another day.
