snake
The Internet is quite the invention. :roll:
This picture has spawned a host of UNTRUE stories, kind of like the pics of the huge brown bear shot by the American airman on Hinchinbrooke Island, Alaska a few years back............you know, the one full of human remains (NOT) and the one that had stalked the hunter (NOT) and the one that was shot with various rifles and cartridges (JUST ONE) etc etc etc...
That snake was in South Africa, and it is quite dead. It was NOT set free by a bunch of Australian troops, who by the way are damned fine troops but don't do snake patrols in South Africa.
The snake you see had just eaten an impala ewe before it was electrocuted on the electric fence. Read all about it HERE:
