A Russian dancer's attempt to kiss a large snake during a performance has gone viral, but not for the reasons she might have hoped. The video, posted by ‘shhkodalera’ on Instagram, shows the dancer gracefully moving with the reptile before attempting a kiss. Unfortunately, the snake reacted by biting her nose.
Despite the unexpected bite, the dancer remained calm and carefully placed the snake on the ground. Fortunately, the snake was non-venomous, and she only sustained a minor wound. The incident, however, has garnered significant attention online.

The clip has since amassed over 19.8 million views, with many social media users finding the incident amusing. While some viewers expressed concern about the handling of wildlife for content, others "respected" the dancer for her composed reaction and for not throwing the snake after being bitten.
