Tourists in the South African bush captured the terrifying moment they spotted an enormous 17-foot-long python which slithered on their vehicle and chased them. 
The video on Daily Mail, shows the huge reptile underneath a boat the tourists were trailing through a nature spot, when it suddenly makes its way onto a nearby Land Rover's bonnet. The tourists are left terrified as some of them jump into their cars on a dirt trail near the coastal city of Durban.
The driver of the Land Rover initially appears uncertain whether to stay outside of the vehicle or climb inside for safety, but soon reverses away. The footage shows the python fall off the car but follows the reversing vehicle again, moments before slithering away into the bushes.
Daily Mail added that African Rock Pythons are not venomous, but can inflict serious wounds with their sharp teeth, and have been known to constrict people to death in rare circumstances.
