This is as impressive as it is scary! While it definitely isn't the smartest thing to do, it did probably did safe a life! Watch as a young girl hammer throws a snake to save her pet Guinea Pig!

I'm sure we'd all want to do similar things for our beloved pet. However, in the heat of the moment are you willing to throw yourself between your pet and a deadly snake? This girl was! Check out the viral video below!

Girl Hammer Throws A Snake To Save Pet Guinea Pig

This is what nightmares are made of. What happens when a deadly predator decides its next meal is going to be your pet? Thankfully, we aren't often put in a position where we have to think like that. However, this girl was put in that position. She didn't let fear or any consequences stop her from saving her pet Guinea Pig. She showed that snake who's boss!

Naturally, this happened in Australia. Of course it is. I feel like whenever I hear or Dave & Chuck The Freak talk about a story in Australia, it typically involves an enormous or dangerous animal. Occasionally, it will be about a hunky actor. However, it's more often about deadly animals. They have all sorts down there. Ones we have never even heard of or are familiar with here in North America. However, there's still plenty of animals found in North America that we have to worry about. Yet, nothing compares to Australia. They've got giant snakes, spiders, lizards, and more all capable of ending your life. Scary stuff!

According to ABC 7 Chicago, Rosie Wightman was playing in her backyard when she noticed a large snake that was about to eat her pet Guinea Pig, named MaxiBon (adorable). So, Rosie stepped up and grabbed the snake and swung it around in an attempt to get the snake to drop her beloved MaxiBon. After several rotations, you can see her sling the snake into her neighbors yard (someone else's problem now!). It's all super impressive! She out to consider joining the Olympic Games for some Hammer Throws! There could be Gold Medals for Australia in the very near future, there. Thankfully, she was able to save the life of little MaxiBon. Whether or not the snake got to any of the neighbor's pets or loved ones is unknown.

Oh, America the beautiful. Across our wonderful continent of North America you'll find amazing, adorable animals. However, you'll also find creatures that are incredibly dangerous. Here are 5 animals in North America that could kill you.

Now, just because they can kill you doesn't mean they're out to do it. Yet, it means they have the possibility of doing so! So, it's best to be aware!

5 Animals In North America That Could Kill You

Well, some of these animals you're probably already well aware could kill you. However, some of these animals you might not know can kill you. Or, maybe you don't know they're actually around! Hey, like NBC used to say, "The More You Know."

Naturally, there are many more than 5 animals in North America capable of killing you. There are countless. Some may be big powerful animals. Others may be poisonous. It's important to know what's out there. These animals could be lurking in your basement. They could be outside your home. Or, they could be all the way across the country from you and pose absolutely no risk of danger or harm.

Of course, when you only select five animals to talk about, you're leaving a lot on the cutting room floor. So, you won't hear about any sharks on the list. We know they can kill you. Additionally, jaguars, mountain lions, and American Bison didn't make the list. That's right. Bison can kill you, and they have! Not only are Bison huge animals, but they also have horns! Several ways they can take you out. It's not just limited to a stampede.

Furthermore, I'm counting an "animal" as anything in the Animal Kingdom. They may be reptiles, amphibians, insects, and more. I'm counting them all as animals. I don't want to hear that "technically, arachnids aren't animals" or anything. Let's just relax and have fun.

These 5 Animals Found In America Could Kill You

Grizzly Bears

Grizzly Bears are incredibly dangerous! They're also massive. They have sharp claws. Additionally, they have very sharp teeth and brute strength. There is no shortage in the ways a Grizzly could kill you. They're very popular up in Alaska and Western Canada.

Alligators

Alligators are dangerous animals. They're ancient, smart, and deadly. According to USA Today, alligators have been responsible for 33 human deaths in the last 50 years. Not a great way to go. They're quicker than you'd think. Then, sneaky, too! Uh oh.

Arizona Bark Scorpions

These small light brown scorpions are deadly! They have venom that is painful and potentially deadly. You don't want to be stung by one of these. Note that they are nocturnal and are common in southern California, southern Arizona, southern Nevada, and parts of Utah and New Mexico. Black lights can help you spot them at night.

Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake

This species of rattlesnake is endemic to the Southeastern United States. Of course, there are other common rattlesnakes found across the country that are also deadly. They like to live in upland dry pine forests, flatwoods, sandhills, and coastal maritime hammocks. Also, they are excellent swimmers! So, don't try to get away by swimming. They'll catch you! It's said to be the most dangerous venomous snake in all of North America.

Brown Recluse Spider

The Brown Recluse Spider has necrotic venom. Their bites will often require medical attention. It is one of three spiders in North America with dangerous venom along with the Black Widow and Chilean Recluse. They're mostly found in the Central United States. They are very dangerous and harmful to the older community and younger individuals. They're typically between 6 and 20 millimeters.

Would you get between a snake and your pet to save its life? She did!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
