This is the agonising moment a man writhed in pain after a snake bit his penis and refused to let go in unsettling scenes from Brazil.
The victim was seen in viral video grimacing on the ground as a friend filmed from a cautious distance.
A third person bravely stepped in to dislodge the obstinate reptile with a stick, forcing the rod into the snake's jaws in an effort to break its grip.
The video, filmed in Pantanal, Brazil, was shared widely on Instagram and TikTok, with audiences sharing in horrified reaction.
Crocodile Cam, a popular animal conservationist on X, said that the snake was a king cobra, carrying a neurotoxic venom that 'attacks the nerves and can cause paralysis'.
'They have enough venom to kill 20 grown men or one adult elephant, and their venom can kill you in as little as 15 minutes.'
The man was reportedly taken to the hospital for medical treatment after the snake eventually loosened its grip on his nether regions.
