A motorbiker had an amazing escape in Brazil when a snake lunged at him - while he was travelling at 155mph.

The biker was filming himself racing along a road when the snake slithered out from behind his handlebars.

The video, which has been uploaded to YouTube, shows the bright yellow snake lunging at his left hand.

Incredibly, the man doesn't panic but pulls over his bike and shows the reptile to his friends, reports Inquisitr.

It's unclear how the snake got into the vehicle, or whether it was poisonous. Both snake and rider were unharmed.
