There is a lot of variety in what animals we keep as pets. Some people prefer dogs, others prefer cats, while others prefer reptiles like snakes. In a video going viral on the internet, a snake owner got bitten by her pet as she tried to take it out of the cage.

In the video, a woman was seen trying to remove the lid of the cage as the reptile hissed at her. Within a few seconds, the snake bit her hand and tried to completely wrap itself around the woman’s shoulder.

The woman tried to put the snake back into the lid but to no avail. Another man jumped to the rescue to help her but the giant reptile continued to hug the woman’s hand. Before the man tried to get a snake hook to remove the reptile, the woman had started bleeding heavily.

Many internet users questioned the idea of keeping snakes as a pet. A user wrote: They have no loyalty to you; you people are going to learn one day to stop making predators pets.” —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.

Stuck parrot

 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.”
