Snake goes for biker at 155mph
A motorbiker had an amazing escape in Brazil when a snake lunged at him - while he was travelling at 155mph.
The biker was filming himself racing along a road when the snake slithered out from behind his handlebars.
The video, which was uploaded to YouTube but later removed, showed the bright yellow snake lunging at his left hand.
Incredibly, the man didn't panic but pulled over his bike and showed the reptile to his friends, reports Inquisitr.
It's unclear how the snake got into the vehicle, or whether it was poisonous. Both snake and rider were unharmed.

Lunged for him? The video just shows it slither out and disappear.

The snake was travelling in the same direction as the yellow motorbike in a tornado wind at a speed of 210 mph. It looked to the right and noticed a stationary motorbike, which it had no idea was travelling in the same direction at 155 mph. It thought, "Hey, look! A gigantic snake! It's the same colour as me so I should be safe jumping onto that." Then it thought, "Oh no, the gigantic, yellow snake has eaten one of them humans you sometimes find in whales. They tend to kill us snakes." Then he left out the left of the video screen.
