Brothers 5-Year-Old And 7-Year-Old Killed By Snake While Sleeping

According to Mail Online, Two small brothers, age 5 and 7, have been strangled to death in their sleep in Canada, by a massive python that escaped from a pet store below the apartment where the children were staying.

The pet store owner Jean-Claude Savoie says the creeping horror slithered into the apartment in Campbellton, New Brunswick, through the ventilation ducts this morning and crawled into the ceiling.

It somehow punched a hole in the ceiling and dropped onto the small boys from above. It then coiled around them and crushed them as they slept together on the floor.

Mr Savoie, the owner of Reptile Ocean in Campbellton, described to Global News how he found the two boys dead in his apartment about 6.30am on Monday.

Snake Hides in Toilet, Bites Man's Penis

Animals are running amok these days. First, a cow killed a man in Brazil after falling through his bedroom roof. Now, The Times of Israel confirms that a 35-year resident of that country was visiting his parents in the town of Nofit when a snake that had been hiding in the toilet crept up and bit him on the penis.

Fortunately, the animal was not venomous and the man was released after some time under doctor supervision.

"There will undoubtedly be bite marks on the area in question," a representative from Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center said, per Australia's Daily Telegraph, while a paramedic who treated the victim told The Daily Mail:

"This is the first time I've seen a snake bite like this. Luckily, all tests seem fine and the man is feeling well."
