Snake shows up as man feeds fishes in a lake, his reaction has netizens in splits

Netizens cannot get enough of a video featuring a man, who was trying to feed fishes in the water and a snake showed up. The hilarious video which has now gone viral has people in splits. While many people generally don’t put their hands directly in dirty water to feed fishes, this man did just that and then paid for his mistake.

In the now-viral video, the man can be seen merrily feeding fishes with one hand dipped inside the murky pond while trying to capture the moment with his other hand. Things seem to be being going fine initially, with the fishes swimming right up to his hand. A few seconds into the video, a snake can be seen swimming towards the man’s hand.

As soon as the snake appears, the man who was evidently frightened, ran away trying to save himself from the snake. This has left many people frightened and amused at the same time. The video is being extensively circulated on Reddit where it was first shared three days ago.
