Motor mechanics in southern China disassembled a car engine to remove a two-metre-long snake after it slithered inside.<br /><br />The video, shot in Nanbu County in Sichuan Province on May 26, shows the motor mechanics pulling a huge snake out of a car's bonnet after disassembling some components.<br /><br />According to reports, the car owner Mr Zhang found a snake climbed into his car bonnet and hid inside. Since he could only see a part of the snake's body and couldn't flush it out, he drove his car to the city centre to ask help from police and firemen.<br /><br />After around three hours, with the help of firefighters, the motor mechanics removed the snake from Zhang's car. Firefighters then took it away and released it back into the wild.<br /><br />The two-metre-long and three-kilogram snake was reportedly an Elaphe carinata, or king ratsnake, which is not poisonous.<br /><br />The video was provided by local media with permission.
