Social media is full of videos where people often play around with snakes, and then end up with suitable consequences. There might be more instances in the real world, but on the internet, at least, the times when a snake went into full attack mode are quite rare. So widening the list, a video of a snake doing exactly the same was shared on social media, which instantly went viral. The video was being recorded by a man, who was mowing his lawn in Australia. The man slowed down his machine after he spotted the reptile just lying on the grass. With the intention of giving the snake a chance to slither away, the man patiently waited for it to move. However, the entire thing took a U-turn, when the snake went into full attack mode and began to move towards the machine at full speed with half its body up in the air. 

The video was shared on the social media site Instagram, by the handle ‘takemetoaustralia’. The post was captioned, “Anyone else enjoys mowing the lawn on a fresh spring evening?”

The video instantly went viral and the netizens had a lot to add. Most called it a dangerous situation, while others prioritised their family and said that they would have acted in self-defence if the snake attacked instead of running away. The video was shared four days ago and pulled 310K views from people.

It’s the snake or my family so,” added another.
