A farmer’s routine day in the fields turned into a nightmare after he stumbled upon a massive snake mid-attack — and suddenly found himself fighting to escape.
Footage shows the man calmly working the soil, preparing the ground for planting, when his tools disturb something lurking just beneath the surface. Within seconds, the ground erupts and a giant snake is revealed, its jaws locked around another unfortunate animal it had already caught.
The man freezes for a split second before panic sets in — realising how dangerously close he is to the predator. With the snake thrashing and tightening its coils, he scrambles backwards, desperately trying to put distance between himself and the reptile.
Onlookers can be heard screaming in shock as the scene unfolds, while the farmer fights to keep his balance and avoid becoming the snake’s next victim.
The heart-stopping clip has since gone viral, with viewers stunned at how narrowly he avoided disaster. One person wrote: “That’s the kind of thing you see in movies, not real life.” Another added: “The way he kept his composure while that monster was right there is unbelievable.”
Thankfully, the man escaped unharmed — but it’s a chilling reminder of how close danger can be when working in the wild.
