In the clip, a monkey is swimming and playing in the water when it unexpectedly encounters a large python.
Instead of retreating to avoid confrontation, the monkey becomes aggressive and initiates the attack. This foolish action leads to a devastating consequence.
Just a few minutes later, the monkey is tightly constricted by the python. Despite struggling to escape, it cannot break free. As a result, one hour later, the monkey is completely swallowed by the python.

The reticulated python, scientifically known as Python reticulatus, is considered the longest snake species in the world. They are primarily distributed in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Their natural diet includes various mammals and birds.
Reticulated pythons are ambush predators, known for their ability to camouflage in dense vegetation and wait for prey to wander close. Like other pythons, they are non-venomous and do not kill their prey with bites. Instead, they bite to hold onto their prey while using their massive bodies to constrict and suffocate it.
Similar to many other snake species, reticulated pythons can expand their jaws to swallow prey that is up to one-fourth of their body length.
Although reticulated pythons are strong enough to kill a human, they are not considered a threat to people, and incidents of attacks on humans are very rare.
