This American man got the shock of his life when he cut down a tree in his back yard.
Like something out of a sinister fairy tale, a thick black snake emerges through the hole in the middle of the sawn log.
'Woah, oh my God! Holy f***!' Ryan Saunders shouts as the bloody stump of the creature he has sliced begins to move.
'I accidentally sawed in half some sort of large snake inside of this log,' the amazed Saunders narrates.
The length of the snake's slick black body slithers slowly out of the gap, despite surely being dead! 'It is backing itself out. What the f***. Holy s**t,' he breathes.
'Here comes its head,' he adds as the reptile…
pours itself out of the log. The elongated body flops to the floor but the head still does not seem visible. 'Where the f**k is its head?' he asks as the creature slides along the grass.
Saunders cannot help but stare in wonderment at the wriggling snake.
He runs over to the other half of the felled tree to see the tail end of the reptile. 'Still moving,' he affirms before the video ends.
The video has amazed YouTube viewers and has swiftly gone viral racking up over 16 million views!
