VIDEO: Two Boys Get into Muddy Water and Catch Snakes with Their Bare Hands

When I think about a fun day from my childhood, I think about curling up with a good book. Meet with friends play some games. Spend time with my family.

I’m the first to admit that I’m not really the outdoorsy type. Then again, I never had to be.

Life in other parts of the United States and around the world puts adults and children in places where interacting with the natural world is essential, and even part of everyday fun.

It just so happens that the farther you get away from cities and suburbs, the more likely you are to find yourself face to face with some pretty gnarly creatures.

According to viralnova.com, These two boys live in Cambodia, where they decided to go fishing in the muddy water one day.

Soon after getting in, however, they realized they weren’t alone. Instead of getting totally freaked out like most of us would, they kept cool heads.

One of them decided to reach into the water and get a better look at whatever was passing by. I don’t know how they didn’t freak out!

These boys are no strangers to snakes, though. Check out another video where they confront an equally scary serpent.

What do you think? Are these boys brave or are they just asking for trouble? Let us know in the comments below and share this with your friends and family to totally freak them out!

Snakes are really scary creatures, even though they are really interesting, and they can kill and eat a lot of creatures that are bigger than them.

They can fatally wound a human easily, and in different ways, depending on whether or not they are venomous or not.

According to wikipedia.org, Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborderSerpentes. Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniotevertebrates covered in overlapping scales.

Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws.

To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes’ paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung.

Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca.

Lizards have evolved elongate bodies without limbs or with greatly reduced limbs about twenty five times independently via convergent evolution, leading to many lineages of legless lizards and snakes.

Legless lizards resemble snakes, but several common groups of legless lizards have eyelids and external ears, which snakes lack, although this rule is not universal.

Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land masses; exceptions include some large islands, such as Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, the Hawaiian archipelago, and the islands of New Zealand, and many small islands of the Atlantic and central Pacific oceans.

Additionally, sea snakes are widespread throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

More than 20 families are currently recognized, comprising about 520 genera and about 3,600 species. They range in size from the tiny, 10.4 cm (4.1 in)-long thread snake to the reticulated python of 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length.

The fossil species Titanoboa cerrejonensis was 12.8 meters (42 ft) long. Snakes are thought to have evolved from either burrowing or aquatic lizards, perhaps during the Jurassic period, with the earliest known fossils dating to between 143 and 167 Ma ago.
