This spine-tingling video shows the moment a ‘defensive’ viper propelled itself at a photographer with the ferocity of its strike captured in stunning slow-motion.
The fear-inducing footage shows the vibrant green snake with beady red eyes twisted around a tree in the forests of Thailand before it launches itself towards the camera – showing off its impressive bite.
While the video was shot in slow-motion by Ross McGibbon, the deadly speed of the Pope’s Pit Viper is still apparent as the photographer’s flash goes off long after the snake has retracted.
The viper’s stealth allows it to strike out at its unsuspecting prey, snatching birds straight out of the air and lizards, rodents and frogs off neighbouring trees.
But reptile enthusiast Ross, 32, explained that in this instance the snake was simply lashing out in defense after detecting the heat from the cameras.
