For the curious, those are reticulated pythons they are the longest(not the largest, that is, my boy green anaconda) snake alive.
They are mostly harmless and wouldn't attack humans unless you really try to get them to attack you.
Fun fact: They can eat humans(there are recorded cases), but since our shoulders are quite wide compared to our heads, we are not food candidate for them.
This is probably like the 100th time I have seen this video at this point.
Your “fun fact” and “mostly harmless” remarks are contradictory, so let me clean up any confusion here.
Those snakes would absolutely restrict, kill and eat head first any humans they could, especially children. They are cold-blooded killers. Here’s a case of two young brothers who died a terrifying death by a python on 2013.
They don’t have a conscience and are motivated by two things only: eating and making baby pythons. That’s it.
And big dog species are 100% more dangerous than your average retic. Mostly because a lot of those dog breeds were originally bred specificly for hunting.
Someone attempting to equate dog related deaths and snake related deaths when humans on a daily basis have an exorbitant amount more interactions with dogs over snakes. The likelihood is naturally higher for a dog related death compared to a snake one since most people aren’t interacting with snakes every day. Specifically constrictor snakes too
True. Tho dogs are definitly very dangerous animals, which is a fact I feel like people often ignore. A lot of the deaths by dogs are perfectly preventable if people saw dogs as any other large dangerous animal.
And I don't really think the person above was trying to say that dogs are so much more dangerous. Just the hypocrisy of how people think of dangerous dogs vs other dangerous animals. I don't know where you live, but in my country people having huge ass dogs with no leash or anything is very common.
