As a woman grabs her Christmas tree, she experiences the shock of her life
Imagine this: Since you do not buy a Christmas tree without suspicion, set it up at your home, decorate it with your most beautiful balls and then THAT! There is a snake hiding in the tree. What a shock!
That's what happened to an Australian in Melbourne. A tiger-otter had wrapped itself around the tree in the tree. A snake catcher finally had to come and remove the "extremely dangerous" animal. "We found snakes in all sorts of places, but this is the first time I've discovered a snake in a Christmas tree", he later tells the dpa.
Luckily, the woman acted in spirit. After discovering the reptile she immediately left the room, locked the room and put a towel under the door. She knew well what to do in such a case. After all, Australia has many of the most dangerous snakes in the world. Every year, countless people die as a result of snake bites.
