Giant Python swims through flooded street in Bali, viral video sparks fear, watch

A giant python swimming through a flooded street in Bali has left the internet stunned, adding a shocking twist to the island’s ongoing flood crisis. As relentless rain batters the popular tourist destination, a viral video showing the massive snake calmly gliding through murky water has triggered widespread alarm online.

Heavy rainfall over the past few days has submerged several parts of Bali, turning roads into muddy streams. Described as one of the worst downpours in recent years, the rain has caused rivers to overflow, forcing water into homes, shops, and guesthouses. In many low-lying areas, residents have shifted to safer locations, while tourist hotspots continue to grapple with waterlogged streets.

The now-viral clip captures the brown python moving steadily through knee-deep floodwater that nearly covers the entire street. Parked scooters and buildings line the road as the reptile’s long body curves and cuts through the water, creating ripples. The snake appears to be at least six feet long.

Voices in the background can be heard warning passersby to stay alert as the python makes its way across the submerged stretch.

The caption of the post reads, “After three straight days of relentless torrential rain in Bali, streets in popular spots like Kuta and Legian have turned into knee-deep rivers. And now massive pythons 6 feet long are casually swimming through them. You won’t find me anywhere near Bali anytime soon.”
