Rattlesnake Gives 2 Friends Nightmare Fuel After Catching Reptile Swimming Towards Them
Brooke Howard spotted the rattlesnake while fishing in Caney Creek in Texas
A Texas science teacher accidentally filmed a video of her and a friend having the scare of their lives!
Brooke Howard, a fifth-grade science teacher, was fishing in Caney Creek near Sargent, Texas, with a friend the weekend of April 13-14 when she spotted a snake swimming very quickly toward them.
During her trip, she took videos of animals in the stream to show them to her students and lead her Monday classes. So she decided to film the reptile, which she initially thought was a harmless, non-venomous, pot-bellied water snake. .
“…I’m not afraid of snakes anymore,” Howard said behind the camera in the video obtained by PEOPLE, good-naturedly encouraging the animal. “See, there he is, come on, little buddy.”
