A man cycling around the mountains in the Mother City nearly met his maker when crossing paths with a Cape Cobra and a slew of strong language ensued. The mountain biker was somewhere in Table Mountain National Park, reportedly on the Tokai trails per Cape {town} Etc, when his on-body camera captured his sheer shock upon stumbling across the venomous snake. The clip was later shared by Arrive Alive on social media, serving as the season's obligatory warning for outdoor enthusiasts.

Table Mountain alone is home to 22 different snake species, many of them venomous, including the Cape cobra, boomslang, and African puff adder, according to Hike Addicts. Though encounters are rare, it's better to be prepared than sorry. Before hitting the trails, make sure you’re following these basic precautions: Stick to the trail: Don’t wander off marked paths where your view of the ground is blocked. Hike with a buddy: Going solo increases your risk, especially if something goes wrong.
