Footage has recently emerged online of a snake in Texas attempting to take bites out of passing cars as they nearly run it over in Austin, Texas.
The serpent can be seen stationary a point in the road where drivers can turn right.
Multiple vehicles take the turning and narrowly avoid flattening the reptile while it lunges at some cars.
The filmer explained: "[It was recorded] outside my apartment complex.
"Animal Control was called and came by later to (move it/help it) so it was not killed by any cars.
"I did not know what species of snake it was or if it was poisonous but I kept a safe distance because of all the biting it was doing.
"I stayed near it for about 10 mins to warn anyone who may not see it. I stopped 2 bike riders from going right over it and by stopping them I made one biker crash right into another.
"[I] slowed a couple of cars down that were turning so they could possibly avoid it.
"Some people did not care to slow down, although no one intentionally tried to run it over."
