Tôi cũng mới lần đầu thấy con rắn hổ mang h́nh dáng như trong đoạn video. Thật dễ sợ!

Decapitated snake's head attacks its own body
Alabama man Sam Billiter used a machete to kill the copperhead viper, a venomous snake nearly a metre long that he found in his woodpile.
He wanted to film the body squirming as it died, but captured a moment much more macabre.
In a video he posted to Facebook, the snake's head clamps its jaws down on its tail and holds on as it is thrashes from side to side.
"It just bit itself … wow," Mr Billiter said in a deadpan tone.
"The snake's head just bit its body. That is crazy."
The copperhead is an ambush predator but usually feeds on mice, voles, frogs, lizards and insects.
Venom from the snake bite can cause extreme pain, swelling and severe nausea but it is rarely fatal to humans.
Despite this, Mr Billiter wrote on Facebook that he wasn't taking any chances.
"Once I saw it was a copperhead I decided that it had to die (cause I'm not gonna let my boy or my dog get bit by that thing) and thus the video was made," he said.
American copperheads are not closely related to the Australian genus, which grow up to six feet long but are only moderately toxic by local standards.
