[QUOTE="lasher, post: 2995540, member: 40522"] jebus, i have lots of crazy snake stories stored in memory. while in sunny s.e. asia i read a story in Navy Times, (all the first class 8 holers always had copies of the navy times) ...anyway this F4 pilot was flying a mission one day and was startled to see a 3 step snake in the cockpit with him and the radar operator, but i think the radar operator was safe. anyway the pilot put the F4 in a straight up full military power climb, and when got to an altitude he knew the snake could not abide stayed there for awhile to be certain the snake was dead or completely dormant from the temps at altitude. the vietnamese called the bamboo viper the 3 step snake, if you got bitten within 3 steps you collapse and begin the dying process. i don't know if the 3 step info is accurate, don't recall anyone getting bitten by one. there were lots of cobras there as well. and then the navy times story of a squad night ambush, a tiger grabbed one of the squad and started dragging him off, he punched it several times on it's nose and it released him. the squad settled back down and the tiger came back and grabbed the same guy again, this time they shot it, blew their ambush site and had to hump back out of indian country, in the dark, to the company HQ [/QUOTE]
