Rama Mahto, 65, was reportedly drunk out- side his home in the village of Madhodeh, India, on Aug. 8, when a baby snake bit him on the leg, Newsweek reported. Contrary to common advice in the wake of a snake bite, Mahto captured the little snake and started chewing on it in revenge, during which his family said he was “bitten more than 10 times” on the face.

Miss Squirrel, Hit House
On July 15, a 19-year-old driver from Hingham, Mas- sachusetts, swerved to avoid hitting a squirrel in the road and ended up in the living room of a historical home built by Abraham Lincoln’s great-grandfather in 1650. The Boston Globe reported that the unnamed driver “drove off the right side of the road, over the sidewalk and into the front of the house” around 6:30 a.m., where residents were still sleeping upstairs.

More Snakes
Xi Yan of Jurong West in Singapore called animal wel- fare group ACRES on July 28 because of what she be- lieved was a snake hissing in a cupboard near her bed. She sent a recording of the noise, and ACRES concluded it was probably a black spitting cobra, reported Coconuts Singapore.
