A shocking video, which showed a huge snake coiling itself around a man's legs, has gone viral on social media.

The 29-second clip was shared on Twitter by user @MarieePechova with the caption: "What to day?!! Big snake wants to have this man for dinner."

The video shows the man struggling to escape from the grasps of the snake as the reptile tightens its grip around his legs. It is unknown when and where the video was taken. The video ends abruptly with some people moving toward the man to help him after hearing his screams. The fate of the man in the video also remains unclear.

Social media users were shocked to see the huge snake attacking the man.

In July, a man in the Indian city of Mumbai was seen riding his bike with a snake as a pillion rider. The biker, who had not realized a snake was on his bike, was alerted about the same by two people who were on another vehicle behind him. The snake had by then slithered under the rear seat of his bike. The video of the incident surfaced online showing the biker using a twig to remove the snake.

The reptile then slithered inside nearby bushes, the Times Now reported. Snake rescuer Chitra Pednekar identified the snake as a common cat snake, which is known to be a good climber.

In October last year, a similar incident took place in the southern Indian state of Kerala when a 10-foot-long python coiled itself around a man's neck.

Bhuvanachandran Nair, 61, was clearing bushes near a dam when he saw an object, which resembled a cloth. When he got closer, he realized it was a huge snake. He alerted other laborers who were working nearby. Nair brought a sack to capture the python and remove it from the area. However, while he was trying to put the reptile inside the sack, it slithered from his grip. The snake swiftly climbed over his body and wrapped itself around his neck.

Co-workers rushed to the scene to help Nair who was coughing as the snake tightened its grip around his neck. The incident was caught on camera.
