The Tugun region of Queensland, Australia is located in the country’s coastal region. Because of this, it is common for the residents of the place to live with various animals characteristic of the country.
Among the species that eventually coexist with humans is the snake. From a wild habitat, it is possible for some of these reptiles to migrate through urban environments, especially as their habitat changes.
One of these interaction situations between humans and animals shows a car driver who removes the snake from the middle of the road after grabbing the reptile’s tail.

Since snakes can have venom that can have negative consequences for humans, the man who did the good deed kept the animal away from his body, after rescuing the snake, left his arm outstretched and ran to the side of the road. .
After posting the video on Twitter, several users left their comments and impressions about the scene.

One netizen claims that “there’s still a little bit of the Australian spirit left,” others call the driver a champion and hope someone called the services specializing in snake rescue.

Another claims he left the snake in a park where children could play and be bitten by the animal.
In Australia, killing snakes and snakes is illegal except in cases of direct threat to human life.
