China Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Hiker brings snake home to show kids, ends up in the hospital An unidentified hiker in Australia was “extremely lucky” after being bitten by what he thought was a harmless diamond python, which he had captured and took home to show his kids. Unfortunately, it was a case of mistaken identity, as the reptile turned out to be a poisonous broad-headed snake, which looks very similar to a diamond python. The incident occurred last Wednesday in the New South Wales Southern Highlands, as reported by Yahoo! Australia. The man was hiking with friends when he spotted the reptile and captured it. When he was bitten, he didn’t think anything of it until returning home and becoming violently ill. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Florida's second-heaviest Burmese python taken down in 'surreal' battle after being mistaken for alligator How many guys does it take to wrangle Florida's second-heaviest Burmese python? Five, apparently. Mike Elfenbein was one of those guys who experienced a "surreal" and "lucky" take-down at Big Cypress National Preserve in South Florida over the weekend. "I had her by the head. Her head was the size of a football," Elfenbein told FOX 35 News. "My son grabbed her by the tail. And the other three guys all piled on in the middle. And with all five of us sitting on top of her, she was still literally able to lift her body off the ground and keep moving. "It was crazy, it was crazy."

China Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 Angry cobra attacks tee box, time to take up a different sport Stepping up to the tee box is always a tall task. There’s a lot to think about. Power, contact, whether you should hit into the slow group in front of you. But apparently now you have to worry about gigantic snakes too? This is truly the final straw. https://www.instagram.com/elithapeachey/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=4b4dc686-4021-4cff-9e76-69dd12af6bc6 Elitha Peachey—a self-described, golfer, spontaneous soul and animal lover—had quite the encounter recently at the Atlantic Beach Golf Club in Cape Town, South Africa. She may be an “animal lover,” but this seems like too much for anyone. That terrifying serpent is technically a Koperkapel, otherwise known as a Cape cobra. They’re highly venomous, known for their rich yellow color and should NOT be anywhere near a golf course. It’s one of the most dangerous snakes in all of Africa, and if venom is injected, a human’s body will go into paralysis potentially leading to respiratory failure.

China Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 NY man sentenced for smuggling snakes across border in his pants A New York man who hid snakes in his pants to smuggle them across the U.S.-Canada border was sentenced on Wednesday. Authorities say Calvin Bautista, 38, of Richmond Hill, admitted he had three Burmese pythons in his pants when he rode a bus across the border at the Champlain Port of Entry in 2018. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered the snakes concealed in bags attached to Bautista’s pants near his inner thigh during a search. Authorities say Bautista failed to obtain the required permits and documentation to import the snakes into the U.S. Burmese pythons are not native to North America and are considered an invasive species.

China Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 'Magnificent creatures': New photos show largest anaconda ever recorded A giant anaconda species captured recently in the Amazon of Ecuador by a team of scientists is the largest to ever be documented, USA TODAY previously reported, and now, there are images showing just how massive the snake really is. The group of scientists from The University of Queensland, led by professor Bryan Fry, uncovered the nearly 10 million-year-old species with help from the Indigenous Huaorani people while filming "Pole to Pole with Will Smith," a National Geographic series that will stream on Disney+. Fry, as well as other scientists who studied the new species, shot incredible photos of the newly discovered snake in action. Here are some images of the northern green anaconda found in the Orinoco Basin of the Amazon. Fry mentioned that the key to understanding the discovery has to do with location. The Amazon has two separate basins. The larger basin in the south is home to the green anaconda from which the northern green anaconda comes. The smaller basin in the north is home to the newly discovered northern green anaconda. The two species differ genetically by 5.5%, Fry shared. “It’s quite significant – to put it in perspective, humans differ from chimpanzees by only about 2%."

China Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Hospital staff plead with bite victims to stop bringing snakes to emergency departments Snake bite victims are endangering medical staff by bringing the reptiles with them to hospital, doctors say. In Queensland's Wide Bay region, doctors have come face to face with some of the world's most venomous snakes captured by patients believing it'll help with identification and treatment. In one case earlier this month, emergency staff at Bundaberg Hospital, four hours north of Brisbane, were handed a plastic food container with a small eastern brown snake inside peering back at them. "Any attempts to either get close to a snake to catch or to kill, or to photograph the snake, just puts people at risk."

China Posted Monday at 07:33 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:33 PM Scary! Scottsdale man spots rattlesnake at his front door Scary moments for a Scottsdale man and dog owner when he spotted a rattlesnake ready to attack on his doorstep. Brandon Creager sent the video to Arizona’s Family of the frightening encounter. The video shows his two dogs safely inside the house in the area of Shea Boulevard and 124th Street on Monday around 1 p.m. and then he pans over to the rattlesnake outside, with its rattle going in a threatened position. Creager said his dogs kept barking and that’s when he went to the door to see why. “Luckily it was rattling loudly so I noticed it before opening the door,” he told Arizona’s Family. The snake looked pretty upset. “Can you image if I had just opened the door and let the dogs out?” Creager asked in the video. “They’d be dead.” He added a firefighter came and got it.
