Michael J. Delaney of Montana saw an opportunity to film a den of rattlesnakes with his GoPro. Unfortunately, not all of the snakes were feeling particularly photogenic.

While filming, the snakes repeatedly struck the camera, trying to pry it away from Delaney. One snake managed to snatch the camera away and pull it deep into the pit. Delaney only managed to fish the camera out using the hockey stick. According to a Facebook post, he had to clean the venom off of it in order to use it again.
Let's just take some nice pictures of something fluffy from a safe distance next time.
