WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGE: A woman in Texas was attacked by a snake and a hawk while mowing her lawn, as the snake wrapped around her arm and the hawk swooped down to catch the snake
A Texas woman was left in shock after being viciously attacked by a snake and a hawk at the same time.
Peggy Jones, from Silsbee, was maneuvering her tractor across her backyard when she was suddenly thrust into the surreal confrontation with a snake and hawk.
She said: “I was mowing on our property when out of the sky, out of the clear blue, a snake fell onto my arm.” The snake, whose species remains unidentified, wrapped itself around her arm with a vice-like grip.
She attempted to shake the snake loose, but it clung to her and even began striking her face, her glasses shielding her from potentially catastrophic bites.
