• He played with the python as people feared for his life
A man had a near-miss after a huge King Cobra pounced on him while he was trying to catch it with his bare hands.
In a chilling video of the incident which had now gone viral online, a man named Mike Holston was seen holding the tail of a large King Cobra as he tried to control it.
He attempted to lift the snake off the ground while the serpent looked alert with its hood spread wide but as soon as he lifted it, the snake turned towards him and tried to attack.
He, however, escaped the attack narrowly, which could have ended very bad.
The clip had attracted more than 5.6 million views on the social media platform with many people expressing their concern for the man for handling such a ferocious snake with his bare hands.
Adding some more details about the snake, Mike Holston, said that the snake was a 12-foot cobra which he found in a village.
“It was full of ticks and had a spicy attitude. There is nothing like working with animals in their natural habitat,” he wrote.
While some people expressed concern for the man, others vowed to never mess up with a snake like that. — ndtv.com
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
