Watch as hawk drops live snake on family’s barbecue

A family barbecue was rudely interrupted by an uninvited guest with a very unwanted gift – a hawk carrying a snake. The terrifying footage shows the giant bird of prey winging its way towards the party from across a lake. As it gets closer, it becomes clear its carrying a huge reptile in its talons. As it swoops just over the heads of the startled family, it drops the live snake right into their midst. The panicking picnickers can be heard shouting at each other in Chinese, as the green-coloured reptile slithers towards them.
The video was filmed on Friday by Douglas Wong as he enjoyed a family lunch on the River Yarra, in Melbourne. He posted the clip on YouTube.
