Huge Snake Sends Tourists Running When It Bolts From SUV At Yellowstone National Park


 

A very big snake caused a ruckus at Yellowstone National Park on Thursday when it popped out of an SUV engine in front of a crowd of stunned tourists.

The incident happened outside one of the park’s welcome centers, and video of the scene includes gasps as the snake began unwinding itself across the entire width of a Toyota Highlander.
