Agreed. Her level of calm was very impressive. The other 2 women were in awkward positions too. One had her back turned & rightfully didn't create any more commotion or heighten the bear's state further. She stayed in place. The other was starting to get nervous (was moving too much & talking at the start), but luckily kept her hand movements minimal later on. Props to all 3.

A Costly Mistake. Photo by Roy McGrath. At first glance, this snake looks incredibly ambitious. However, the fox proved to be the true aggressor here and the python had other plans. The fox attacked and bit down on the snakes lower jaw, so the python retaliated and wrapped itself around the fox's head, eventually suffocating the fox. When the photographer found these two, the snake was still trapped inside the jaws of the fox. Mr. McGrath had to use a screwdriver to pry the fox's jaw open and release the snake. The snake was injured but made a full recovery.
