The caption of the Facebook post suggests that the video shows a massive Python wrapped around a van as a man tries to fight it with a stick. Many users have commented that this video seems fake. While some suggested that the scene is from some movie, others said that the video is possibly edited.

So, is this a scene from a movie or an actual monstrous reptile wrapped around the van in the video? Let us find out.

Fact Check

We searched on Google using keywords related to the scenes shown in the video. As a result, we found a fact check by a Taiwanese Fact Checker My Go Pen. As My Go Pen’s Fact check, the video is not of an actual snake but an artificial giant snake from a Chinese Zoo. 

The snake is an art installation at the Zhongnan Baicao Garden, a zoo and amusement park in the Zhejiang province of China. You can find the video of this giant snake on the Park’s account on Douyin website. 

From the above video, we can clearly see the Snake seen in the video is artificial and not real. You can see the head of the snake which clearly looks like a toy. A comparison of screenshots from both the videos can be seen below. The snake and the van seen in News18’s video is same as the one seen in the Douyin video posted by the park.

Conclusion

The video showing a giant Python wrapped around a van is not of a real snake. From our investigation, it is clear that the snake seen in the video is an art installation in a zoo in China’s Zhejiang province.
