It probably goes without saying that it's a bad idea to disturb a rattlesnake. What's amazing is how quickly this innocuous situation turns into a moment of stomach-dropping, primal fear. All those flags make a little more sense now.

Just forget about any thriller/action scene that you've ever seen in your entire life. This iguana being chased by a pack of vicious killer snakes is as thrilling as it gets. 

The snake was just rocked by the full force of a fearless dog who was having none of his ominous nonsense. Peace, snake.

This may not have been the woman’s first rodeo, though, as she seemed to know exactly what to do, leaving the room, jamming the door with a towel, and calling for help.

The 12 days of Christmas are getting scarier every year.

"A shocking video has emerged of Brazilian activist Arteval Duarte getting bitten by a snake during a stunt in July.

The footage, shot in Jacunda, Brazil, shows the 'Ninja of Serpents' getting bitten by the large snake as he tries to put its head in his mouth where he already holds a tarantula.

His face is left covered in blood, but he doesn't seem to mind all that much.

Arteval regularly performs stunts like this to raise awareness about deforestation in the Amazon. Sometimes, they go wrong.
