Proves that there is a fine line between curiosity and masochism.

Yep, no wonder the planet wants to get rid of us.

Skip forward to 2:21. This is an animal that is brave/hungry/stupid enough to steal an adder's meal from the enraged snake then casually devours it's booty in front of the snake itself. As if that's enough, the badger then decides to make the snake it's second course!
Of course, the snake's venom does its work and the badger then appears to keel over while in the middle of eating the snake. After a period of time, the hardy little bastard gets up, shakes off the poison and resumes feeding upon the carcass of the snake.
Damn.

One person lost a chunk of his scalp before the leopard made off to other houses in the neighbourhood.
