This video captures a close-up of a viper approaching a weasel and intends to attack. When the weasel realizes the danger, it becomes paler and yellowish around the neck and on the belly. Its facial fur is black, but in some specimens or populations there is a narrow pale stripe on the forehead. The viper pointed its head right in front of the weasel and stuck out its tongue. The weasel also wiggled its nose to probe. And suddenly the viper took a bite, causing the weasel to startle and fall off the branch. Another bite to the head of the weasel, the weasel still has not recovered. The viper is very active in attack, it clicks continuously to threaten the weasel. The ferret did not run away and remained still there. The weasel showed fear. And finally the weasel decided to attack the viper again. But the weasel didn’t seem to have much success because it was bitten again and again and the weasel could not touch the viper yet. The weasel hung upside down from the tree and was bitten by the viper.
The confrontation went on like that for a long time, without a decisive and strong attack from these two animals. But in the end, there seemed to be no interest in the weasel, so the viper left. The weasel was still sitting there blankly. Fortunately for the ferret, it was not seriously injured.
