An unusual situation happened to a woman in Texas (USA): she was attacked by a snake and a hawk at the same time. The victim survives, but reports that the effects of the episode linger in her mind and dreams.
Peggy Jones, 64, was at her home in Silsby Township, mowing the lawn. Suddenly a snake that fell on her hit her.
Confused, she stated that she could not immediately tell which animal it was. At this time, the serpent wrapped itself around her arm and tried several times to bite her face.
Within seconds, she too is attacked by the falcon. It was later discovered that the bird was trying to retrieve prey that had escaped.
As a result, Jones received multiple injuries to his arm and face. “When I tried to remove the snake from my arm, it quickly curled up,” Jones said in an interview with CBS News.
The hawk described the snake that had wrapped around my arm and tried to get it out anyway, then decided to grab my arm and take it with its prey.
With great difficulty she managed to sway the snake from her arm and the hawk flew away. Her husband saved her, and Jones was taken to hospitals to treat her injuries. “My arm had several punctures, cuts and scrapes that caused a lot of pain,” she said.
Even after she was released from the hospital, Jones stayed up all night to make sure her arm did not swell or darken, symptoms of snake venom. (with info from g1)
