On November 25, speaking with Dan Tri newspaper reporters, the leader of the Ho Chi Minh City Forest Protection Department said that the unit had just received a python handed over by residents at My Phuoc apartment building, Ward 2 (Binh Thanh district).

"The python weighs 4.8kg, is 1.7m long, has the scientific name Python bivittatus, belongs to group IIB in the list of rare and endangered wild animals. The animal caught a chicken of a nearby resident and crawled through the apartment lobby, where it was discovered by residents," said the officer.
Previously, on the afternoon of November 22, residents living at My Phuoc apartment building (Binh Thanh district) discovered a python crawling back to the parking area at block C of the apartment building.
The apartment management board and security guards captured the animal and looked for the owner, but no one came to claim it, so they reported it to the forest rangers.
