Longest Snake Ever in Captivity - Medusa

A python named as Medusa recorded to the Guinness world records 2013 by holding a title called longest snake ever in captivity. She is long 7.67 meters (25 feet 2 inches) and weighs 158.8 kilogram (350-pound) and needs at least 15 people to hold her.

This Python owned by Full Moon Productions in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. The reptile, lives in the Edge of Hell haunted house attraction in Kansas City, and it needs about 40lb animal in a week but could easily eat something weighing more than 100lbs.

The python’s diet consists of a mixture of rabbits, hogs and deer, served to her every two weeks. The 8 years old reptile is known as ‘the sloppiest eater within attraction’, who accidentally bite into herself instead of her dinner.

According to Medusa's handler and Edge of Hell's general manager, Larry Edgar, "We try to keep Medusa well-fed and slightly out of reach as there have been instances with Reticulated Pythons where they've had to cut people out of them! We never underestimate that she does always have the upper-hand."

Medusa inherits the title from the previous record holder, Fluffy, another Reticulated Python from Ohio's Columbus Zoo who measured in at 24 ft long. The reptile was 18 years old and still 24 ft long and died of an apparent tumor.

The Reticulated Python species dates back to the prehistoric era and is one of the largest snakes on the globe.

Cardenas's mother Ashley Cardenas told that she knew about her daughter's condition when she was 16 weeks pregnant.

"They gave me the option to terminate the pregnancy, continue with the pregnancy and do something called comfort care at the time of delivery, where instead of doing anything painful to her or do surgery they let you spend as much time with her until she passes, or opt for a high-risk surgery to help repair the heart. As soon as I made my decision to continue with the pregnancy, the physicians in Midland referred me to Texas Children's Hospital where a team of miracle workers provided the specialized treatment and care my baby and I both needed," she said. Further she articulated her gratitude for the team of doctors that worked determinedly to save her daughter's life.

This was a one incredible medical miracle happened in the world so far. You can see video of the baby's heart beating here.

Further she said that she didn't grow her nails deliberately to set a Guinness record because she liked the way nails looked the day she stopped cutting her nails and let they just kept growing. She lost a nail once, when fixing her car engine on the freeway, and otherwise has no trouble leading a normal life.

Amazing Human Courage in Olympics 1964

There’s no doubt you have heard of Usian Bolt, Marian Jones and Yohan Blake. But did you hear a name called Ranasinghe Karunananda? He was one of the forgotten Olympic heroes who represented Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in the 1964 Olympics, in the Mens 10,000 meters event.

Karunananda competed because he wanted his little daughter to be happy that he competed, from start to finish. He came last. He could have stopped at any point, it would not have changed anything. He didn’t. He was with the leaders when Billy Mills of the USA breasted the tape. That’s because he had been lapped four times by that time. When he continued, it surprised the spectators. When he came around they jeered. When he came around a second time, there was silence. And then there was cheering. Wild applause. He finished the race to a standing ovation that exceeded the salutation that the spectators gave Mills.

One housewife wrote, ‘I saw you on TV, running all alone and I could not keep back my tears’.  

The Japanese remember this more than the Sri Lankans do. Days after the race he still received gifts from sympathetic Japanese. His story is related to schoolchildren to teach the virtue of determination and the triumph of the human spirit. Look below how he competed with others at Olympics.

At the media discussion Mills have said that the gold should have gone to Karunananda not for him. Karunananda was gifted by many things by Japanese and they all consider him as a real hero with an incredible courage. After few months, some say he died in an accident. Some say he was murdered. Some say he just disappeared. Whatever happened, isn’t Karunanada a real hero among us?
