Viper behavior

by Ilias Strachinis - 12/8/2010 13h00

You've got to see this video. Two greek farmers watching a viper fight and in the end one goes close and one viper seems to attack(?) the guy. Can you explain this behavior?

P.s. one of the vipers looks like a female(!) so what kind of fight is this?

I would rather think: fleeing from its opponent

2 males, by me.

Ilias Strachinis

you're right about the gender

>I would rather think: fleeing from its opponent

As many times as I watch it, it doesn't seem to me like it coincidentally went away from its opponent. It's so strange...

They are fighting for girls, so when the girl is so good, you think you can take on everything in your way, even big farmers.

(just some comparing with my old habbits when there were super-women around.)
