I met a driver working on a power project being constructed by the Chinese in Sri Lanka, close to Colombo. He said that a large Rat-snake ('Garandiya - S, Chaarai - T) appeared, apparently looking for rats inside a container. The Chinese got very excited and cornered it and killed it. They subsequently cooked it and ate it with much relish. I wonder how long it will take for the locals to follow suit. In no time the Rat-snake will be an endangered species in Sri Lanka.
