3:21 I had no idea snakes could move their eye balls. I felt their pupils were stationary, and their heads move to the direction they want to look. Super cool

God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who… Understands
I swallowed a entire pumpkin pie once. Not a Turkey.
Almost 60 years ago on a YMCA bus tour of the American West, we stopped by the road in the Arizona desert. About 50 boys were milling around when a sidewinder appeared moving through the scrub bush toward us. I turned and sprinted the other way but I can still visualize the signature movements of this remarkable creature.
that poor salamander, dang pig – everything in one gulp
Too bad about the two human men in this video.
Amazing! The close-up footage of the rattlesnake swallowing its prey is not only realistic but also reveals the haunting beauty of the wild. Thank you, BBC Earth, for delivering such a dramatic and informative video
