Mom awoken by cat finds python wrapped around 2-year-old daughter
An Australian woman was awoken by her hissing cat early Sunday to find a python wrapped around the arm of her 2-year-old daughter.
Tess Guthrie, a 22-year-old from Lismore, New South Wales, said the 6-foot python was wrapped three times around her daughter's arm. "I thought I was having a nightmare," Guthrie told a local television news station. "It was only because the cat was hissing that I woke up and saw the snake with its body wrapped around my daughter Zara’s arm." The toddler was sleeping in the bed with Guthrie, who pried the snake off her. But before she could, the nonvenomous python bit the toddler three times on her left hand. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/python-baby-mom-wrapped-cat-175346395.html http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/IAPf_XEECmXAhtUUsKnT9A--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7cT04NTt3PTMxMA--/
