WATCH: Severed snake slithers out of chopped tree

Disturbing footage has surfaced of a severed snake slithering out of the middle of a chopped tree trunk. According to the Daily Star, the tree had been chopped in two, along with the snake, when the discovery was made.

The cameraman, Ryan Saunders, appears to squeal in horror as the alien-like reptile struggles to free its dying body from the tree's centre. Ryan races over to the other half of the trunk to find the bottom half of the snake still moving.
