A snake photobombed a girl's back-to-school picture while she was standing close to a tree in Auburn, Alabama. The seventh-grader's mother, who was taking the picture, said she was horrified when she spotted the massive snake on the tree.

“Lord, it was scary! I got two pictures and said ‘show your teeth please, baby!’ Then I saw the snake," the girl’s mother told WRBL. “I said ‘Brooke come here’ and she looked at me like I’m not done taking pics! So I said ‘Brooke get away from the tree now.’ I said it calmly, but I’m sure my face said it all.”

Brooke Mills, the girl, was posing for a “Summer’s Over” picture Thursday when the snake emerged. It remained unclear what type of snake it was. The reptile camouflaged on the tree and could be spotted only after looking closely at the picture.

Early in July, a snake photobombed a woman’s selfie while she was enjoying her morning walk in Brisbane, Australia. The unidentified woman spoke to Yahoo News Australia, saying she was taking a stroll when she stopped to take a photo. When she lied down on the ground in order to take a selfie, she heard a rustling noise.

“I thought it might have been a skink,” she said, adding, “Whatever it was I thought it was about to run over my head.”

While checking out the photo she had captured, the woman noticed that the snake was just meters from her head.
