0:25
this snake but it looked like they might
0:27
be in over their heads there was no way
0:29
they could have missed the snake because
0:31
he was extremely large snakes didn't
0:33
normally get this fat so that already
0:36
raised a lot of questions for park
0:38
ranger Paul Dean he decided to drive
0:40
closer to the snake so he could take a
0:42
better look at what was going on with
0:44
the animal he couldn't believe what he
0:46
saw ranger Paul knew he was in over his
0:50
head this wasn't something he
0:51
encountered every day which meant he
0:54
wasn't prepared to deal with the
0:55
situation he decided to call one of his
0:57
veterinarian contacts who might be able
1:00
to help the snake out he looked like he
1:02
needed the help and quick paul hoped he
1:05
was still on time to help the poor snake
1:07
paul worked in the Kafoui National Park
1:10
in Zambia one of the biggest national
1:12
parks in Africa it covers a massive area
1:15
in western Zambia and is known for its
1:17
abundant wildlife and the Kafu River
1:19
which runs north to south through the
1:21
park he was extremely lucky to have
1:24
found the snake in this massive park but
1:26
was there still time to save it it had
1:28
been 5 years since Paul started working
1:30
in the Kafu National Park during this
1:33
time he had seen a lot his love for
1:35
nature and wildlife motivated him to do
1:38
his very best every single day he was
1:41
known by the other rangers for the
1:43
personal care and affection he showed to
1:45
every single animal it came as no
1:47
surprise to them that he was the one who
1:49
would do everything to save this poor
1:51
snake it wasn't the first time that Paul
1:53
would set everything aside to help a
1:55
single animal who really needed his help
1:57
for example he had once found a gazelle
2:00
who was stuck in a hole in the ground he
2:02
had spent hours trying to get the wild
2:04
animal out of the hole in the end he
2:07
succeeded it was the best feeling he had
2:09
ever felt in his life he had saved an
2:11
animal he was reminded of this day when
2:14
he saw the fat snake in the distance he
2:16
had never seen anything like this there
2:19
were a lot of snakes in the national
2:20
park but none of them had ever been this
2:23
fat you just didn't get this fat in
2:25
nature especially when you spend your
2:27
days walking around trying to find food
2:29
to survive there was something seriously
2:32
wrong here and Paul was going to help to
2:34
the best of his ability but would it be
2:37
enough it was a regular day at work for
2:39
Paul he had spent the morning discussing
2:41
the plan for the day with the other
2:43
rangers there were poachers around so
2:45
their plan was to keep an eye open for
2:47
any suspicious activity or shady figures
2:50
this briefing could not have prepared
2:51
him for what he was about to encounter
2:54
seeing any snake at all in this part of
2:56
the park was strange this was not the
2:58
territory of any known group of snakes
3:01
so Paul was shocked when he saw the lone
3:03
snake walking around he must have
3:05
wandered off from his family this wasn't
3:07
the only shocking thing however the
3:09
sheer size of the snake was unbelievable
3:12
paul knew there was something wrong what
3:14
would cause a snake to grow so fat and
3:17
wander off without the rest of his group
3:20
this wasn't normal snake behavior so
3:22
Paul knew something was wrong he just
3:24
didn't realize how wrong it was just yet
3:27
he would soon find out the shocking
3:29
truth behind the giant snake the ranger
3:32
approached to get a better look at what
3:34
was going on paul had already realized
3:36
that something was seriously wrong when
3:38
he was still at a large distance from
3:40
the snake but now that he was close
3:42
there was no denying the seriousness of
3:44
the issue he immediately called a
3:46
veterinarian and snake expert because
3:49
there was no way he could handle this on
3:51
his own all he could do was pray that
3:53
the vet would show up in time the vet
3:56
arrived within minutes he had just
3:57
finished a task close by paul was
4:00
extremely glad to see him because this
4:02
meant they might be able to save the
4:04
snake the vet took one look at the snake
4:07
and immediately knew something was
4:09
seriously wrong they sedated the fat
4:11
beast and took him to the closest
4:13
hospital they hoped they would be able
4:15
to save the snake paul was not allowed
4:17
in the surgery room so he spent his time
4:20
pacing around the waiting room he knew
4:22
something was wrong with the snake but
4:24
what was it would they be able to save
4:26
him there were so many questions paul's
4:29
love for animals made the weight feel
4:31
like an eternity then the door to the
4:33
surgery room opened and the doctor
4:35
walked out i can't believe this the
4:38
veterinarian yelled he looked shocked
4:40
what had happened in the surgery room
4:42
what was the doctor so shocked about
4:44
paul approached the vet with these
4:46
questions but he didn't get an answer
4:48
"sorry I have to hurry." "Hold on," the
4:51
man said he paced off leaving Paul in
4:54
confusion "what was going on?" Paul
4:56
followed the veterinarian barely keeping
4:58
up with the man's walking speed when
5:00
they reached the phones the vet stopped
5:03
and immediately dialed the police
5:05
apparently he had found something that
5:07
was serious enough to want to
5:08
immediately notify the authorities did
5:10
this have anything to do with the
5:12
poachers who had been seen around the
5:14
national park the vet spent 5 minutes on
5:17
the phone paul tried to make sense of
5:19
the conversation but he only understood
5:21
snippets apparently the doctor had found
5:24
something during the surgery something
5:26
that had shocked him and his assistants
5:28
like nothing ever had when the vet
5:30
finally hung up the phone Paul bombarded
5:33
him with questions what was going on why
5:36
did the police need to be notified was
5:38
the snake all right finally the vet had
5:41
time to answer Ranger Paul's questions
5:43
he had found something inside the snake
5:46
something that was extremely shocking
5:48
the vet had never seen anything like
5:50
this during his long career but he knew
5:52
he had to notify the police immediately
5:55
he apologized for having to make Paul
5:57
wait on his explanation but calling the
6:00
police had been urgent he finally told
6:02
Paul what was wrong with the fat snake
6:04
during the 5 years Paul had been working
6:06
in the national park he had spent his
6:08
time trying to make life better for the
6:11
thousands of wild animals that inhabited
6:13
it part of his job was looking out for
6:15
poachers who wanted to hunt down the
6:17
animals in order to sell parts of them
6:19
for a lot of money this practice was
6:22
illegal but the money still attracted a
6:24
lot of people trying to get rich these
6:26
poachers had gone after the snake the
6:29
vet explained that during the surgery
6:31
they had found a tracking device in the
6:33
snake's stomach the poachers were
6:35
tracking the snake so that they could
6:37
hunt him down whenever he strayed too
6:39
far away from his group and the park
6:41
rangers they were using high-tech
6:43
equipment to aid them in their
6:44
activities this didn't go as planned
6:47
however the body of the snake had tried
6:49
to expel the foreign object which lead
6:51
to an infection and swelling of the
6:53
stomach the snake was extremely lucky
6:55
that he had been spotted by Paul because
6:58
he wouldn't have lasted long he had
7:00
grown enormously bloated because of the
7:02
infection this also explained why the
7:04
snake had wandered off so far from his
7:06
group he had probably been wandering
7:08
alone because he felt seriously ill the
7:11
vet explained that the snake probably
7:14
ingested meat that the poachers had left
7:16
behind with the tracking device already
7:18
in it these criminals didn't care about
7:20
the welfare of the animal they just
7:22
wanted to make money off him this broke
7:25
Paul's heart he was so glad to have
7:27
found the snake when he did but this was
7:30
not all the vet had been able to remove
7:32
the tracker from the snake's stomach
7:34
with the right antibiotics rest and a
7:36
lot of time he expected the snake to be
7:39
able to make it with the device removed
7:41
he also didn't have to worry about being
7:43
tracked by the poachers it looked like
7:45
everything would be all right it didn't
7:47
look that way for the poachers who had
7:49
made a big mistake the police
7:51
investigated the tracker and found out
7:53
that the poachers had used a device that
7:55
also worked the other way this meant
7:57
they could track down the poachers and
7:59
arrest them they prepared for an
8:00
operation in which they were planning to
8:02
catch the people who had done this
8:04
terrible thing to the poor snake they
8:06
gathered at the poachers hideout the
8:07
operation was a huge success the police
8:10
managed to arrest 10 poachers in their
8:12
hideout and also found a huge stash of
8:15
illegal animal produce without the
8:17
tracker they would have not been able to
8:19
put such a large dent in this illegal
8:22
operation and it all started with a fat
8:25
snake on the horizon they decided to
8:27
thank Ranger Paul they gave Paul a medal
8:30
for his service the park was safer again
8:32
thanks to the watchful eye of the ranger
8:35
the snake managed to fully recover and
8:37
was reunited with his family he is still
8:39
alive today and you might be able to see
8:41
him if you visit the Kafou National Park
8:43
in Zambia
