Totally Insane and Dangerous Wild Animal Encounters

Boa Bites

Firefighters were called to a scene where a Boa had bitten a woman's nose and wrapped itself tightly around her neck in Sheffield, Ohio. The woman struggled with the snake, attempting to remove it herself, but failing. The firefighters couldn't remove hit from her either, so they were forced to decapitate it in order to save her. Biting is pretty uncommon for Boas, but experts believed that it had bitten her simply because she had held it up close to her face.
