Not long ago netizens was stirred by the discovery of pythons in the suitcase of a grandmother who had just enjoyed a holiday in Australia.

This middle-aged woman named Maria Boxall was surprised not to play.

Arriving at Stirlingshire, Scotland, his residence, Maria saw pythons writhing in a suitcase.

This python snake is known to hide in his shoes.

Uniquely, the python just changed its skin.

The old python skin was also clearly on its side.

Maria is known to have just returned from her vacation in Queensland, Australia.

Sure enough, this snake turned out to have joined Maria flying from Australia to Scotland, wow!

At first, Maria had seen the python in her room before exiting her place of stay.

Maria thought that the python had left her room.

But who would have thought, the snake turned out to be in Maria's suitcase instead.

The Maria family who was a little panicked rushed to call the animal security officer.

Shortly after that came the Scottish SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) rescue team named Taylor.

Soon, this snake was secured and carried by Taylor.

"After being investigated, this snake is known to be a mottled and non-venomous python type. This young python snake is quarantined at an animal rescue center," said Taylor.

The python snake is planned to be handed over to the local zoo after passing quarantine.

Recently the public was again saddened by the discovery of a dead sea turtle from a fishing hook. The turtle is found on Boracay Island, Philippines.

Previously, when found the turtle was still alive but was already in a weak condition.

This sad news is uploaded by Malay city government marine biologist Haron Deo Vargas via Facebook.

Vargas said that female turtles suffered serious injuries to reach internal organs.

"Green liquid, blood coming out every poor turtle sighed," said Vargas.

The turtle was found floating by one of the coastal residents with the weak condition and fishing hook stuck in his body.

The female turtle was brought to the mainland to then release the deadly fishing hook.

But apparently, removing the hook directly is a pretty fatal step.

"This is a bad idea because it will move the wound and endanger it," said Vargas.

Eventually, Vargas was called, and turtles were taken to the care center at Crown Regency Resort by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

 Because the wound was very severe, this poor turtle finally died.

Vargas added that Boracay Island is home to various types of turtles.

He regretted the irresponsible hand that intentionally stuck the fishing hook into the poor turtle's body.

Events that are not less heartbreaking also occurred in 2017.

A turtle was found dead with an arrow stuck right in his head.

Marine biologists also always call on tourists to always take care of the environment of Boracay Island and oppose the poaching of turtles.

"These gentle animals are already a species that is threatened and protected by Philippine law. Eating them is very unsafe because turtles also have poisons in their flesh," Vargas concluded.

Later, news about tourists who died during holidays often circulated in the virtual world. The causes are various, ranging from a sudden illness, accidents, to being victims of crime.

Moreover, some time ago, news of the many tourists who died mysteriously in the Dominican Republic also made a scene.

Not only makes tourists afraid, but such news is also more or less deterring someone's intention to go on vacation.

In fact, according to the authorities, the death of tourists due to accidents or illness is not a foreign matter.

4 of the biggest risks that can cause a person to die while on vacation and vacation tips to stay safe.

Anything?

1. Traffic accidents

Traffic accidents are one of the most common causes of tourists dying during holidays.

This is because traffic while on vacation can be riskier. Also, a traveler who is not familiar with the surrounding area will also be more exposed to danger.

For that, a traveler is advised not to forget the basic things about driving safety so that the vacation is safe.

Some things that can be done include installing a seat belt, wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle, and as much as possible not traveling during the night or bad weather.

2. Violence and murder

When going to tourist attractions that are still foreign or at-risk countries, cases of violence, pickpocketing, and murder are things that we need to be aware of.

To avoid things that are not desirable, there are several things we can do when traveling.

One example is not busy playing cellphones and always be aware of the surrounding environment.

Also, travelers are also advised not to wear expensive jewelry, carry excessive cash, or other items that can invite crime.

Also, also pay attention to the advice given by tour guides or hotel employees about the area you are going to visit. Also, avoid receiving food or drinks from strangers.

3. Sink

Later, the case of people who drowned while traveling was increasingly heard.

For those of you who don't have adequate swimming skills, remember to find a friend who can swim while visiting a water tourism area.

Also, you can also carry a float and ensure that the equipment used for diving or scuba diving is sufficient.

Avoid alcohol, and don't do risky things like jumping into the water or diving without permission just for the sake of social media content.

4. Understand health risks

When visiting other countries or regions, there is nothing wrong if you do research first to understand the risks of existing diseases.

For example, raw water in the Dominican Republic turns out to carry hepatitis A so it is not safe to drink directly.

This also applies to other aspects, such as understanding the risk of spreading rabies in a country, the danger of mosquito bites, and other signs of disease.

Finally, don't forget to do all the recommended vaccinations if you want to visit a country with a high risk of illness.

If some tourist destinations are known for the beauty of their charming natural landscape, some others are known for having unique names that easily invite laughter and ask questions.

No exception is the coastal area in Tanjung Karang, Mataram, Lombok. The local community named it Cheating Beach.

The naming of this beach is so 'tragedy' originated from so often residents catching lovers pairing love around the bushes that grow along this coastline.

Even every Friday night, not a few husband and wife accidentally went to Selingkuh Beach to combine love to deal with the conditions of their settlements that were so crowded, narrow and barely having privacy.

No wonder, because his name is often associated with the negative activity, not many tourists from outside the city who want to visit Selingkuh Beach.

However, that does not mean that this beach does not save the magic of my stuff. Try to approach the Cheating Beach at dusk, surely you will find the attraction of the sunset so stunning on the coastline.
