Is this the legendary Nabau?

A huge python probably more than 30 foot long and weigh about 100kg was shot dead by a hunter in Belaga recently and he brought along a camera to prove it.

There were talks and fake photos circulating over the internet about a legendary big snake or locally known as 'Nabau' which is actually a legendary serpent in the Iban folklore. Could this be the real thing?

According to locals in Belaga the huge python was killed by the hunter with a shotgun fired at the head when it was found resting after consuming what was believed to be remains of a big wild boar.

In February, a farmer who was searching for frogs along Sungai Sut managed to kill a big python which was measured at more than 16 feet long and weigh more than 60kg.

It was also rumoured that a teenage girl in upper Belaga went missing while searching for wild vegetable in the jungle and was feared being swallowed by the reptile.
