Snake Viral Video: If the phrase ‘turning the tables’ had a video, then this clip would be it and if the same phrase had a face, then this snake would surely be on top. A video of an attack by a bird on a deadly snake is going viral on social media and the internet is impressed. However, it's not the bird that garnered the praise, it's the snake and its trick that made the bird feel confident about having the upper hand, which surely was not the case from the start, is what won the people. The video showed a bird attacking a well-camouflaged snake, but the trick was that the reptile used its tail as bait which ended up being a sure death trap for the bird.
The video was posted on the Instagram handle ‘snake.chanel01’. The post was captioned, “The snake with its camouflage tail tricks the bird into coming closer and then it attacks it.”
