All Creatures Great and Small

To start the thread, its snakes. Well, our only poisonous snake is Vipera Berus in the UK, but they come also in black (Melanic) without markings and 200 to 300 bites are noted each year. The smaller the snake the more dangerous it is, as it will release all its venom when an adult will not - nothing guaranteed of course.

This animal thread continues in the vehicle mode and covers driving with sheep on board. Stability of sheep may not be what you have ever had in mind whilst driving, but how would you like it if you were a sheep and that great big A8 cuts your vehicle up and you end up going " **** over tip ".

Humans often deserve rewards for their bravery against the odds. In the animal world, it seems, it is no different. Would you defend your young so bravely and more important, do it successfully: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/536332/leopard/
