This pit gave her life to save her owners! Nong Horm was a great hero when she attacked a snake in her family’s garden in Pathum Thani, central Thailand, but was killed by the snake’s venom.

Nong Horm was in the final stages of her pregnancy when she fearlessly encountered the One-Eyed Snake, one of the deadliest snakes in the world.

Despite the snake’s near-life condition, the ants bit it on the lips, allowing the venom to work quickly and kill it.
