Agra: A 12-foot-long python, weighing 21.5 kgs, was today rescued by a team of NGO Wildlife SOS while it was crossing the National Highway in Agra.
The reptile is under observation and will be freed into its natural habitat, Mr Baiju of Wildlife SOS said.
In the last two months, a large number of reptiles have entered into urban clusters due to hectic construction activities along the Yamuna river banks.
The Keitham reserve forest, from where the python appears to have escaped, is known to be a habitat for birds and reptiles.
