GIRL BITES SNAKE

Last week in Kantar, Turkey, a 2-year-old girl was bitten on the lip by a snake. She bit it back, killing it. According to media reports, her neighbors heard her screaming. When they reached her in her backyard, they found her with a bite mark on her lip, and a 20-inch snake between her teeth. The snake later died from the toddler’s revenge bite. The species of snake involved in the incident is unknown, although it’s likely it was non-venomous. The girl was taken to a hospital to treat her injuries, and after 24 hours under observation, she was recovering well.
* Now THAT’S a superhero origin story.
* Non-venomous? So the only reason snake was biting her was to be a jerk.
* Her parents are laminating the newspaper article about this and saving it for when she grows up and starts dating.
* They might want to think about putting a fence around that backyard. Just an idea.
* Or get a mongoose.
