He stood his ground, too; boy saves dog from deadly viper

In Santa Barbara, Calif., 5-year-old Lennon Knox was playing with his dog in their backyard when the boy spotted the snake approaching.

"The snake went to go bite Lennon's dog, Sunshine, and Lennon pushed Sunshine out of the way and got bit by the snake instead," his mother, Amy, told Fox 11. Family members didn't mention the dog's breed.

In the moments afterwards, the boy was foaming at the mouth. Paramedics rushed him to a hospital where doctors say he's still recovering.

"They said for sure if the snake had bit his dog she wouldn't be with us so Lennon really took one for his dog. He is a hero," his mom said.

PIT VIPERS

There is a group of snakes that are known as Pit Vipers. Not only are these snakes venomous they also have a very 'cool' heat sensing system. This helps these snakes to find prey in the dark, which is when most snakes like to hunt. The ‘pit’ is a special organ in between the eyes and the nostrils. The pit senses body heat from animals and gives the snake a ‘picture’ of that animal. The snake can then attack it. Some pit vipers will bite and poison the prey and then release it. It will follow the dying animal, using its heat sensors, until it stops and the snake can swallow it. Most pit vipers hunt at night when the air is cooler and the heat from rodents and other prey is most obvious to them. The ‘heat picture’ from larger animals will tell the snake that a quick escape is a good idea, too!

All rattlesnakes are Pit Vipers. Water Moccasins, Horned Desert Viper, Lance-head, Eyelash Viper, and the Copperhead are a few other examples of pit vipers.

Northwestern lumberjacks who live in yurts, apparently know nothing about herpetology and they insist on displaying their ignorance.

We have much to teach these ignoramuses, Brother Leon.
