This Monday, drivers who were commuting on the interstate highway BR-364 in Brazil, were in for a surprise.
Tires of the vehicles screeched as commuters came across something
unexpected in the middle of the road a giant snake that stretched 9.8
feet long (around three meters).
The event took place near the northwestern city of Porto Velho and
was filmed by people who stopped their cars and got out to help the
snake cross the road safely.
Italo Nascimento Fernandes and his wife were some of the people who were commuting down the road this Monday.
“We decided to stop the car and get out. There are no signs for the cars to wait so she can cross. I have seen snakes run over on the highway before, and think such thing is a crime,” Italo told the media. He then also added that many people followed his example and got out of their cars too.

Snakes are generally know to stay in the bush and in some countries
they are regarded as a bed omen when they are seen outside, while some
will crash them and destroy them but the locals in this place instead of
killing it or destroying it, they rather helped it cross the road
successfully.
More also in a country such as Nigeria it is regarded unpleasant and
dangerous for such animal to move around the street or road in such
manner, some would have motioned it to be killed while some might have
even decided to burn it alive so as to prevent from successfully
crossing the road.
The locals stopped moving vehicles that the snake might be allowed to
cross the busy road. Which may be very rare in some countries and
places that may allow the snake to be crushed by the moving vehicles.
