This snake has just been liberated from captivity!

In some parts of the world for some people finding a dangerous snake in their garden and having to call the animal protection agency to take it away is something that is normal.

However, although we tend to think about how dangerous snakes are for us, we must not forget that animals are also afraid of our actions and movements ... and they react accordingly.

As a matter of fact, this specimen of the common (eastern) brown snake, for example, has just been released from captivity -- but just look at the defensive behavior that it uses against the person who is still there in close proximity.
