Snake scares swimmers from popular pool in India
Swimmers ran through the water as they saw a snake glide through the swimming pool.
Snakes have earned a reputation for themselves as being scary and deadly creatures. Perhaps, this is why so many people flee when there's even a slight chance of being close to a snake.
Crowds of people were enjoying leisurely swimming at a popular pool in Uttarakhand, India, when a snake entered the pool, leaving them screaming and shouting.
In the video shared on social media, we hear a man saying, "Move, move!" in Hindi, warning people to get out of the way as the snake sped through the pool from one side to the other.
Where we were once only fearful of swimming through shark-infested oceans, now even pools pose as risky alternatives.
People moved as fast as they could, trying to avoid a snake bite. One man focused on looking ahead and moving through the water to get out of the way and jumped when he felt the snake touch his arm.
The snake is seen reaching the other side of the swimming pool and getting out of the water, but the video stops abruptly without more information about its whereabouts.
