An elderly Chinese woman who discovered a snake with a clawed hand protruding from its body was so scared she beat it to death, according to reports.

Xiu Qiong Duan, 68, told the SINA Beijing news agency she woke up in the middle of the night to find the snake clinging to the wall of her bedroom.

"I woke up and heard a strange scratching sound ... at first I thought it was thieves" she said.

"I turned on the light and saw this monster working its way along the wall using his claw."

Ms Duan, from Suining in southwest China, said she then grabbed a shoe and beat the snake to death.

She reportedly preserved its body in a bottle of alcohol which she gave to the Life Sciences Department at China's West Normal University in Nanchang.

Snake expert Long Shuai said the discovery of the creature, which is 40cm long and the thickness of a little finger, was "truly shocking".

"We won't know the cause until we've conducted an autopsy," she said.
Well clearly either this just proves the story of Creation or that China's pollution problem is worse than imagine.

Whoa!

Okay my theory is, the snake swallowed a whole mouse alive, and the mouse is trying to claw it's way out.

I have to say, that 68 yr old woman has more guts then me, taking on a snake with a slipper lol.

O_O Amazing discovery, though I wish the old lady kept the snake alive so we could study it and see if it does anything differently then other snakes.

I am amazed again.

Either it shows an extremely rare mutation in the snake because of pollution (or just natural causes), or it shows that they are evolving....

I'm going with pollution mutation.

She shouldn't have killed it, yet of course I would be frightened if I saw a snake with a hand clinging to my wall.

I thought it might've been pollution related mutation at first, but it actually seems more like a case of atavism. That's one tough old lady.
