Wildlife stories
Watch VideosI was in Europe, in Montenegro. I was hiking with some friends. There was a bunch of snakes for some reason. It's not like crazy tropical there. My friend almost went and grabbed this snake and then had this feeling like, you know, to not grab it. Found out afterwards that it was venomous. And then later we found a horned viper. I think it's the most venomous snake in Europe. So that was kind of crazy. We had to like make sure to stay far away, but we we got pictures. Probably not smartest idea because if it bites you, it'll stop your heart. But it's kind of interesting that you'll run into animals like that in tons of different places.
There was a time while I was in Montenegro that I went on a hike. I hadn't really seen a lot of wild animals in Montenegro, so I was pretty surprised when we were walking around and then I saw this snake. And I thought, oh, that's kind of cool. It's a cool snake. So I obviously didn't touch it or anything. I'd grab it. But, you know, we looked it up on the Internet later and it turns out it was the horned viper, which is the most venomous snake in all of Europe, and it will stop your heart if it bites you. So I'm glad that we stayed far away. But I thought it was pretty ironic that I hadn't seen hardly anything, not even a deer or anything like that. And then the first animal I see out in the wild was, you know, the most venomous snake in Europe. So I thought that was pretty funny.
