Snakes are one of the creatures petrifying to not only animals, but also humans for veracious reasons. Their ultra-venomous bite can cause death in a matter of minutes. This fear is magnified when they come in contact with a venomous snake as they tend to run away at once. But as it happens quite oftentimes, fate plays a role and with all odds being against him, a life is saved.
In one of these videos, a man is seen attending to an important phone call and is completely unaware of the deadly roaming in the surrounding. The venomous snake strikes on a lot of occasions, but soon makes his attack surprising for the head of the victim. Only when his cap is caught in the mouth of the snake does he comprehend the whole fiasco. Obviously, the cap served the purpose of distracting the snake and saving the head from being bitten off.
The video, which has been posted on social media, has gained thousands of views and even more comments. Users classified the snake as a "banded krait", which is infamous and feared for its freaking ultra potent venom, sufficient enough to kill a freaking elephant in bare two bites. While some say it was due to the sheer luck of the man for him to survive, others don't.
Public reaction
This part touched me the most as it best illustrates the role of fate and our nature’s unpredictability. Snakes are a danger to everyone, but they can be particularly dangerous in areas with limited access to healthcare. Stories like this serve to remind us to always stay on guard and how life saving acts are sometimes so inexplicable.
