Huge snake hitches a ride on moving car

<p>A driver has gotten the fright of his life when a large snake made a surprise appearance on his car window as he and his partner were driving along a road in regional NSW.</p> <p>Couple Rachael Pace and boyfriend Kyle Vella were driving in Stroud, on the NSW mid north coast, when the snake hitched a ride with their car.</p> <p>Ms Pace filmed the terrifying incident, showing the reptile pop up next to her boyfriend's window as he was driving.</p> <p>Mr Vella yelled out "holy s**t" as the snake slithers along his closed window.</p> <p>“Oh my god, what the f*** do we do,” he asked his girlfriend in the video.</p> <p>But the snake seemed to be enjoying the ride as it laid along the base of the window.</p> <p>“What are we going to do?” Ms Pace said.</p> <p>“Look how big it is, it goes back there,” she said as she pointed the camera to the rear of their ute.</p> <p>“It’s going to fall off,” Mr Vella said.</p> <p>He eventually managed to pull over, but as he shook his door to move the snake, it didn't seem to budge.</p> <p>The encounter has since gone viral on social media, garnering over 100 comments and 400 shares on Facebook.</p> <p>“It’s not every day that you’re driving and a snake casually pops up,” she said in the post on New Year’s Eve.</p> <p>Eventually, a kind neighbour who lived across the road from where they parked their car, came out and helped them get the snake off their car.</p> <p>Ms Pace said the snake was released into a nearby creek.</p> <p>NSW Poisons Information Centre Senior Specialist, Genevieve Adamo, said the state’s snake season peaked in late December and January.</p> <p>She urged people to watch out for snakes and spiders outdoors as the weather heated up during the summer holidays.</p> <p>“Australia has some of the most venomous snakes in the world, so it’s important people seek immediate medical assistance for all suspected bites,” she said.</p> <p>“If someone is bitten by a snake you should keep them still, call an ambulance and apply a pressure immobilisation bandage.</p> <p>“Tight tourniquets should not be applied and the bite site should not be washed, cut or sucked.”</p>

Red-bellied black snake surprises driver as it hitches a ride on ute

<p>A NSW South Coast driver has received an unpleasant surprise, after spotting a red-bellied black snake on his car window while driving.</p> <p>Ted Ogier was in the middle of completing a delivery for his employer when the snake slithered out from the bonnet.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="500" height="334" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7266742/1_500x334.jpg" alt="1 (73)"/></p> <p>As Ted continued driving, the snake then wrapped itself around the driver’s side mirror.</p> <p>"It'd come out from under the engine bay under the bonnet, it was probably a bit warm there," Ted told the ABC.</p> <p>Ted then called his co-worker Kai Pearse, who got a broom to remove the snake.</p> <p>"I just had a broom in the back of the ute and … basically just got him off the car nice and safely, and just ushered him into the bushland off on the side of the road," Kai said.</p> <p>The pair believe the snake was around 2.5 metres long and Kai thought it entered the engine bay to keep warm.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="500" height="500" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7266744/2_500x500.jpg" alt="2 (48)"/></p> <p>"Last night it got a bit cold down here on the South Coast, so I think he's got up into the engine bay of the vehicle, and he sat up on the engine to keep himself warm," he said.</p> <p>"Then this morning Ted's taken that vehicle down to Eden and it might've got a bit too hot in there, so he wanted out."</p> <p>Despite the scare, Ted said there were worse things that could show up in his car on the road.</p> <p>"Not as frightening as getting a spider on the inside — spiders are one thing I don't like, but I don't like snakes either," he said.</p> <p>What is the worst critter you have encountered while driving?

Baby weasel hitches a ride from a woodpecker

<p>This incredible image looks like it’s been photoshopped – but is has not! The truth is that this almost comical sight is actually a life and death struggle.</p> <p>The moment was captured by amateur photographer Martin Le-May in a London park earlier this week. Le-May and his wife, Ann, were on a walk in Hornchurch Country Park, hoping to see a green woodpecker.</p> <p>Well, they saw one, but it was hopping along the ground unnaturally. The Le-Mays watched the bird with their binoculars for a few moments, before Martin pulled out his camera, and realised just what was happening. The small creature you see “riding” the woodpecker is actually a baby weasel. Weasels usually prey on smaller rodents, but have been known to attack woodpeckers.</p> <p>But this baby bit off a little more than it could chew. The woodpecker was able to shake the weasel off and fly away out of reach.</p>
