“What a beast!” A hiker discovered a large snake close to a South Carolina waterway.

But if it is, sh*me on these people for ki|ling it!” said one person. To be ki|led for a few photos when a snake that large has likely been living for a very long time? What a waste.

Another person stated: “Humans are like, ‘Look, there’s a huge, rare snake that might be the last species on Earth. Let’s kill it and show it to the world.'”

Medusa, a 25-foot-2-inch snake from Kansas City, Kansas, presently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest snake kept in captivity.
