Please watch this insane story featuring a lizard and a snake.

I ain't even kidding :suspense:

Yay for that lizard! That must be the worst beach in the world, every corner lizard turned another loving snake appeared. Heart attack is a real concern there.

It's like a scene out of the best action movie you've ever seen.

No kidding.

No lens flares, obvious CGI or shakycams - better than an awful lot of Hollywood blockbusters these days.

How many bloody massacres do you think they filmed before they got a happy-go-lucky shot in which the lizard survived ?

According to an article I read the other day plenty of lizards made it through the snake gauntlet just fine. But out of all the lizards caught by the snakes, that was the only one that escaped.

You forgot the best part, which is that he bought a MANUAL TRANSMISSION Lamborghini. After getting his arm amputated.

After that, blowing the rest on lovely real estate was probably the smartest decision he could have made.

Bagheera was a panther. There are no lions in the Jungle Book to think of, unfortunately.

UP 4014 is currently undergoing restoration to get it running again which will make it the largest, heaviest and most powerful operational steam locomotive in the world.

TRAIN BIG



It's partially dismantled at the moment while they clean it back and use ultrasound to check that the firebox and everything else is still in good condition so it looks like some crazy Mad Max nightmare:
