Snake strikes happen so fast that the human eye can’t see the details. However, capture the bite in slow motion and the elements become exceedingly clear and scary.

Watch as a puff adder, a very poisonous snake, tenses its neck area, readying its muscles for the strike, and then extends its hypodermic-like fangs to inject poison. Luckily, only a water balloon gets bitten, but the process is amazingly clear and detailed.
