Girl, 2, Sinks Her Teeth Into 20-Inch Snake And Kills It That Had Bitten Her Lip

A toddler from Turkey has made headlines for not only surviving a snake attack but also killing the predator in the process. And she was only two years old!

The girl, S.E., was playing in the backyard of her home when the neighbors heard her scream.

Her neighbors in the village of Kantar, Bingol, rushed to her home, only to find her biting into a 50-cm (20 inches) snake. They also noticed a bite mark on her lower lip, and the snake was already dead. They performed first aid while the paramedics were on the way.

She was rushed to Bingol Maternity and Children’s Hospital and has since shown good recovery progress. At the time, her father, Mehmet Ercan was at work.

“Allah has protected her, really,” said the man. “Our neighbors have told me that the snake was in the hand of my child. She was playing with it, and then it bit her.”

“Then she has bitten the snake back as a reaction.”

This came after Jake Closier, an eight-year-old boy, was rushed to the hospital with an adder bite that swelled his hand up to “five times the normal size.”

The boy was with her parents, Kenny and Sophie, playing on the Hemsby beach while enjoy the gorgeous view of the Norfolk shore.

The little girl has since been recovering well at the hospital after closely observing her for 24 hours.
