Viral Video: Nature hardly misses making us wonder. One such wildlife video captures on camera shows the wild interaction between the predator and the prey.
The short video shows the highly venomous Saharan horned viper attacking the Rock Martin bird. But the fortune seems in favour of the prey this time, helping the bird to escape the grasp of the predator and leaving you a stunning video to look at.
Viral Video: Close Call With a Deadly Predator
The video of the Saharan horned viper attack is posted on the official X page, Wildlife Uncensored. The channel, famous for showing the dark and uncensored side of nature and wildlife, brings you another stunning video.
The snake vs bird video starts as the ignorant Rock Martin bird comes back to its nest in the rough, sandy rock cave. Little did it know that its predator was waiting there, keeping stealth. Just the moment it enters the cave, the Saharan viper grabs its neck. But the bird fortunately escapes.
What Makes the Saharan Viper Dangerous?
This particular species of viper is especially infamous for its venomous bite and stealthy hunting techniques, as you can see in this video. It can blend seamlessly into its desert surroundings.
The Saharan viper also has heat-sensing abilities. This is another adaptation to survive in the desert by sensing the presence of its prey.
Netizens React With Awe To Bird’s Narrow Escape From Deadly Viper
This awfully wonderful Saharan viper attack video thus leaves the netizens questioning whether the bird will survive the bite. Pointing at it, one says, “That bird definitely got envenomated and will drop dead somewhere”.
People mostly consider that, though the bird survives the immediate death, it will soon die due to the venom. They say, “That bird is gone,” marking this uncensored video to be “Brutal”.
While others are also appreciating the instant, fearless reaction of the bird. One says, “Rock martins will fearlessly defend their nests even against venomous vipers”.
This snake vs bird video thus shows that life in the desert demands one to be fit and smart. While the viper takes a disguise, the Rock martin decides to dodge its attacking bite with a switch reaction. But for us, this is definitely a worthy wildlife video to watch with wonder.
