The clip shows a flock of about 10 birds surrounding the snake, taking turns using beaks and claws to attack enemies. Snake tried everything to escape but failed.

Environmentalist Keith Raine, 37, and his wife Tracey on a visit to South Africa’s famous Dinokeng Animal Sanctuary were lucky enough to witness a once-in-a-lifetime scene.

Dinokeng Nature Reserve is known as a favorite spot for tourists who love to explore freely. There are many species of wildlife in Africa, from lions and leopards to hippos, water buffalo and elephants. The reserve has a service that provides “autonomous car tours” so that visitors can witness wildlife first-hand.

That day, Mr. Raine’s family was organizing an outdoor camping trip on the Dinokeng campus when he suddenly discovered a flock of arrow-marked babblers and a starling attacking an immature Boomslang viper. .

Boomslang viper (scientific name Dispholidus typus) is a venomous snake with an average length of about 100-160 cm, some up to 183 cm long. This type is now abundant in southern African countries with a poison that can cause people to urinate blood and the chance of survival is very low.

This snake has rather large eyes, an egg-shaped head, males are bright green with a mixture of blue and black on the head, females can be brown, with fangs 3-5 mm long and in diameter. nearby. 0.5mm. In particular, this snake has pretty good eyesight on a par with ordinary people.

This green snake lives mainly in South Africa and feeds mainly on small amphibians such as lizards and toads, occasionally eating some small mammals, birds, and bird eggs by swallowing. There have been very few cases of people being bitten by Boomslang before.

Even in the early 1950s this snake was thought to be harmless to humans.

In particular, the toxin of the Boomslang viper not only causes external symptoms such as headache, nausea, drowsiness, anxiety, but also causes blood coagulation disorders. The cause is that snake venom contains hemotoxin, a chemical that can destroy red blood cells, cause blood clotting disorders, decreased organ function, and tissue degeneration.

The danger is that, but when faced with too many disadvantages, such as the opponent is outnumbered, not mature enough, the water snake is very difficult to be able to perform miracles. According to Raine’s account, by the time her family passed by, the snake had sustained severe injuries to both eyes which badly affected her eyesight, making her seem quite hopeless in this fight.
