Goats squeezed out of python’s mouth

An incredible video shows a man squeezing two goats out of a boa constrictor after the snake swallowed them whole. The footage, shot on a roadside in Kerala, South India, shows the man pressing on the animal’s swollen stomach to release the two goats.

He holds the 6ft python between his legs as shocked onlookers watched him force out the snake’s meal. The unnamed farmer was trying to save the lives of the animals, which are a huge source of income in the area.

He grabs the huge snake and wrestles with it, risking his life as he pushes and pulls the dangerous predator. Though the man successfully manages to get both out, they had died before they were released. It is not known what happened to the python afterwards.

Cat smell experience, really?

For all feline lovers, this might come as a good surprise — a Japanese company is selling a spray meant to resemble the smell of a cat’s forehead.

The product known as ‘Fluffy Forehead Fragrance Fabric Water’ is being sold by online retailer Felissimo. The scent was developed by Yamamoto Perfumery after the smell was described being similar to ‘the smell of sunshine’ and ‘sweet bread’ in a survey. The president of Yamamoto Perfumery also spent time smelling cats’ foreheads at cat cafés.

The fragrance is currently only available in Japan. It is being sold in 3.4 oz. bottles for $10.60. The site also offers cat-shaped cushions for $25.90 to allow users to get the full cat smelling experience.
