A scrub python - or 'scrubby' - found on a road by North Queensland rangers was both fat and old and it has caused quite a stir.
Scrubbys don't usually manage to achieve great weight or age, maybe due to their liking for roads. This one though, was estimated to weigh 50kg (about 110 lbs) and be about 20 years old, and the Kuranda Park rangers at first mistook him for a fallen tree.
They snapped a photo of Scrubby before removing him to a safer part of the park.
