A couple in Chongqing is so close with a boa they purchased that the trio swim together in the Yangtze River.

Wang Qihuai and Wu Kunqun purchase the boa in the city's People's Park last June. It is now 2 meters long and weighs 4 kilograms.

Because of high temperature sin summer, the boa has been restless, so since early July, the couple has taken the boa swimming.

The boa causes a sensation whenever it appears in the river.
