A two-metre anaconda has been caught and taken to a zoo after it slithered its way out of a toilet in an apartment in Wroclaw, south-west Poland.

 

Much to the alarm of a 73-year-old woman living in a downtown Wroclaw apartment, the anaconda emerged out of the toilet bowl, after which the woman informed emergency services immediately.

 

Police and veterinary experts arrived at the scene to catch the two-metre long anaconda, taking it to a local zoological garden shortly afterwards. Police are now trying to determine how the snake got into the Wroclaw sewage system.

 

The anaconda, which is native to South America, is used to marshy waters and can spend long periods of time submerged in water. (jb)
