A shocking video from Woorabinda, Queensland, shows children using a dead black-headed python as a skipping rope while an adult records the act. The footage, which went viral, has sparked outrage and prompted an investigation by the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science, and Innovation. Authorities have condemned the incident, urging the public to respect wildlife and report such cases. Black-headed pythons are a protected species under Australian law, and harming them can result in fines up to $12,615.
