Snakes

Footage of an amazing robot that mimics the flexibility of a snake. The OC Robotics Series II – X125 system can reach into confined and hazardous locations and conducts tasks using interchangeable tool tips. The latest version has a 10 foot arm that can hold up to 22 pounds.

Michael Delaney decided to fly his GoPro-equipped drone within striking distance of a pit of rattlesnakes, when the totally predictable happens, and it crashes among the deadly snakes. We’re not sure where the drone sound ends and the rattlers begin. (Thanks Paul!)

As if the world didn’t have enough problems, a team of engineers developed this creepy and slithering robo-snake to haunt our nightmares. It’s not bad enough that it can chase you on dry land – it can follow you into the water and swim.

A motorcycle rider is speeding down the road in Brazil at 164mph when an unlikely stowaway pays him a visit at top speed. We were surprised that it wasn’t Samuel L. Jackson under the helmet.

Nature is just plain weird. Somehow this rat snake has decided that traveling along the mortar lines is the best way for it to climb this brick wall. Or maybe it’s just showing off. Who knows?

Apparently fanny packs are for real men. Not only is this guy crazy enough to go into a tiny pit full of the most pissed off cobras we’ve ever seen. He does it in flip-flops with his pants rolled up!
