Man, I know Hollywood has taken a hit this last year, but this Kong vs Godzilla reboot is looking really low budget...
I love snakes, but I can't help but notice that plenty of people decidedly don't. And not just people, too - a fear of the scaly and legless seems pretty ingrained in the minds of many of our primate cousins. Working as a zoo educator in a past job, I made a point of not walking past our monkey exhibits when carrying a boa constrictor or ball python out to meet and greet the public - it just seemed to upset and agitate the monkeys too much.
Of course, in those cases the snake was outside of the exhibit and some distance away from the hysterical primates. This video clip from Disney's Animal Kingdom gives you an idea of just how terrified even the biggest of primates can be towards the smallest of snakes.
Ah well, natural enrichment.
