EEk! A Snake…?! (The Continuing Adventures of People Who Shouldn’t Be Outdoors)

In yet another example of the Kind of People Who Probably Should Be Watching American Idol Instead of Visiting a Park, the Underground brings you the Biggest Wildlife-Related Non-Story since Bambi was released on DVD:

TOWNSEND (WATE) — A huge snake that was swallowing a fish whole startled swimmers and tubers at the Townsend Wye last weekend.

Teresa Wood tells 6 News the snake was laying on the rocks near where her family was swimming in the Little River.

Wood says “it’s unbelievable” how big the the snake was and her family won’t be going back.

What’s “unbelievable” is that a water snake – which had the gall to actually eat a fish in its own habitat (“whole” – as if a snake can eat any other way) – warrants news coverage.

Even better is the we “won’t be going back” response by the victims. I mean, who would have thought they’d find real, breathing wildlife in the wild?

As always, the snarkatorium floor is yours, Undergrounders.
