A policewoman patrolling the railway station in Chengdu, Sichuan province, stopped a suspicious looking pregnant woman on Monday, only to realize it was a man with a snake wrapped around his belly.

"One look at the person, and I knew there was something fishy. He was too strong and hairy to be a woman," Xu Ke, the policewoman said.

The man wrapped the snake around his stomach, pretending to be a pregnant woman, as he did not possess a license to transport animals.
