MANY of the world’s animals appear to have a message for humans who want to take selfies with them: “Please don’t, you myopic, self-regarding doofus.”

    Earlier last week, a Mississippi woman was attacked by a bison in Yellowstone National Park after trying to take a selfie with it.

    Recently, though, a San Diego man thought it might be an idea to take a selfie with a rattlesnake.

    Some might think this has all the sense of taking a boa constrictor clubbing. However, as KGTV in San Diego reported, Todd Fassler picked a rattlesnake out of the brush and thought he might memorialize the event.

    The snake had other ideas and bit him.

    Fassler was taken to the hospital. His medical expenses could be described as expensive — US$153,161.25. Of this, more than US$83,000 was for “pharmacy.” His case reportedly depleted the antivenom supplies at two local hospitals.
