Fisherman Finds Creature

An odd little story comes out of India:

"For fisherman Hemen Duwarah, it was another ordinary day as he sat for hours at Napukhuri, a pond in Lalimchapori village at Amguri.
"To his surprise, it was not a rou that took the bait, but a strange-looking snake. That was enough to create a sensation in the village.
"The snake was about one metre long and its body resembled a flexible tube, the size of a pen refill.
"'We have never seen such a strange creature. We were a bit petrified when we saw it for the first time. We want experts to come to the village to ascertain its identity,' village headman Pulok Das said."
