The man then explained that she had justlaid the eggs, but that something was happening in the nest. When he approached the nest, we soon realise why the mother duck was so uneasy.
Inside, there was a very long viper ready to devour the eggs. The big snake had its mouth open and its teeth clamped around one of the five eggs in the nest, about to swallow it.
To avoid the tragedy that was about to follow, the man, without hesitation, prepared to remove the reptile from the nest. To do this, he took the snake by the head and removed it carefully, but firmly, so that it didn’t turn and bite him.
In the video, he himself admitted that he didn’t know if the snake was poisonous or not, but that the only thing that mattered to him was saving his ducklings. However, the most intense moment of the entire video has to be when the snake coiled itself around the farmer’s hand and started exerting pressure.
Luckily, everything turned out okay and he managed to get the viper away from the eggsand dispose of it away from the nest. Undoubtedly a very heroic act that saved the lives of these future ducklings.
