Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

I mean, sure. I guess. But, and I really HATE to nitpick here, but have you ever seen Steve Irwin use, and again maybe I'm being a pedant and all but still, anything other than his hands or maybe a locally sourced stick to handle the most poisonous and/or venomous snake/spider/lizard/koala?

This guy, sure he's got mad skills right? Maybe even a savant at this, but still: he's got a plastic tube and, this goes without saying but I gotta say it anyway, a bulldozer. Anyone ever seen Steve with a bulldozer?

Still though, that sheep is lucky.

I might have taken a moment to put a cap on the back, open end of that pipe, just to be sure it wouldn't find that path to freedom. Being in the same bucket as a poisonous snake never seems to end well, but certainly a good demonstration of the use of materials ready at hand.

I’d get a little close, work some 38/357 snake shot from the high side, walk it down. The snake is busy, the sheep would be appreciative.

Of course, the guy in the truck likely has limited tools available.

I heard half the battle of owning sheep is preventing them from killing themselves. How does a sheep allow a snake to wrap itself around its neck?

Cobras, King or otherwise aren’t constrictors. What in the world possessed it to do that knowing even if it managed to kill the sheep there’s no way in hades of eating it? Weird all around.

That is pretty amazing...
Yeah, lucky sheep.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

It's because no one told the AI machine that cobras aren't constrictors.

There was a video circulating last week about a giant Anaconda strangling a lion cub and then being attacked by four adult lions.

All AI. All fake.

Do you believe the video in the OP is AI?

Honest question. It did not strike me as fake initially. And I’m cautious.

It seems that virtually anything is possible these days.

I am no authority on AI, but as soon as I saw the initial picture my thought was to wonder how and why a cobra would be in such a situation.

Especially since anacondas are only in South America.
