Look what was found just south of Cape Town

[NICO]

15  foot Oos Kaap khakibos puffadder.

Largest ever  caught on record. 
After  seeing this, a little research followed, and learned  the following :
One bite from a snake this large contains enough venom  to kill over 40 full grown men.
The head alone is larger than the hand of a normal sized  man.
This snake was probably alive when Hendrik Verwoed was  Prime minister. 
A bite from those fangs would equal being penetrated  by two 1/4 inch  screwdrivers. 
A snake this size could easily swallow a 2 year-old  child. 
A snake this size has an approximately 5 1/2 foot  accurate striking distance.
(The distance for an average size Puffadder is about 2  feet) 
Judging  by the size of the snake, it is estimated to weigh  over 70 kg.





Dit is n mail wat ek gekry het.

Ek wil nie hoes, poep, of skinder nie, maar ek dink dis n "hoax" hierdie, geen manier wat daardie n pofadder is nie, dit lyk soos n foto wat dalk in US geneem is, in die boonste foto lyk dit soos n US polisie kar in die agtergrond.

Ek kan verkeerd wees, maar ek dink darem nie...

[Skolla]

As daai slang 70kg weeg dan wil ek graag die ou sien wat daai stok/paal so optel vir die foto.
