Aᴜsᴛʀᴀʟɪᴀn drivers are frequently advised to keep an eye out for animals that wander onto the road. But this snake couldn’t be avoided since a hawk in Queensland tossed it onto a moving automobile.
Joanne, a driver, was traveling west of Brisbane ᴄʟᴏsᴇ to the Wivenhoe Dam when the raptor suddenly swooped toward her car. She screamed along with her companions as the bird raced over the road holding a sizable snake in its beak.
The serpent was launched through the windscreen at the exact instant the hawk let go of it, as seen on the driver’s dash camera. Joanne and her pals were sʜᴏᴄᴋed as the bird flew off into the skies so rapidly. But as soon as they realized they were fine, their shouts quickly became laughs.
Although it is unclear if the hawk intended to dump the snake on the car, it could have been using an unconventional technique to dispatch its victim. The authenticity of the video is unknown. Another video purported to show a hawk dumping a snake on an unprepared family in Melbourne earlier this year, but it turned out to be a hoax.
The family was screaming as the snake slithered off after being thrown by the bird onto them as they were enjoying a barbecue. Hawthorn Hawks, an AFL team, acknowledged that the video was a publicity gimmick after it received five million views in just 48 hours.
