THAILAND PHOTO SET BANGKOK SNAKES

Bangkok firemen remove snakes

epa06386271 Thai fireman Phinyo Pukphinyo from the Bangkok Fire and Rescue Department (out of frame) handles a python after capturing it following an emergency call at a residence in Bangkok, Thailand, 12 December 2017 (issued 13 December 2017). According to the Bangkok Fire and Rescue Department, calls for animal invasion issues exceeded 30,000 times this year, between 2,000 to 3,000 calls per week. Removing snakes and other animals from homes has dramatically surpassed fire alarms, the department added. Most of the creatures do not pose a risk to people and after being rescued by firefighters are taken to wildlife shelters and eventually freed in the wild. According to reports, wildlife encounters in Bangkok are rising as the city is expanding into formerly wildlands. EPA/NARONG SANGNAK ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET
