00:00This man was killed by a dead snake. In 2014, Peng Fan, a chef in China, was preparing an exotic
00:06delicacy, a meal made from the deadly Indonesian spitting cobra, a snake whose venom could shut
00:13down a human body in minutes. Peng carefully decapitated the snake, removing its deadly
00:18fangs and venom glands. Believing his work was done, he set the snake's head aside, but the
00:24snake was not finished with him. Unknown to Peng, a snake's reflexes don't die immediately.
00:30Even severed, its head can still bite for up to an hour. Suddenly, as Peng reached for
00:38the head, the snake's head bit deep into his skin, releasing its venom. The venom, a powerful
00:43neurotoxin, began paralyzing Peng's body almost instantly. His breathing became labored, his
00:49muscles locked in agonizing pain. With no anti-venom on hand, the poison spread through his system
00:55quickly, and there was nothing anyone could do. And by the time help arrived, Peng Fan
01:00was gone, a man killed by a snake that was already dead. Even in death, Macy's deadliest creatures
01:06can still shrink.
