That told me that this creature knew with certainty that it was capable of defending itself if needed, but it need not exert that energy unnecessarily,” Langley said of the monster, who she captured on film before she quietly retreated. “That area is its home, not ours, and my children and I maintain that respect and reverence anytime we are out in nature.”‘What a beast’The online community was horrified when they saw the fearless snake, resting along a common hiking path.Believing her eyes tricked her, one netizen writes, “What is that?” and another says, “This photo is not selling South Carolina.”Others are in awe of the snake’s size. “What a beast!” one writes.“This looks like something you’d see in the Amazon jungle,” said a second while a third simply stated, “Dats a whopper.”One person jokingly commented, “He’s probably swallowed somebody’s child already,” adding, “I ain’t going on NO trails period.”Meanwhile, other cyberfans tried to identify the snake’s species, “That’s a huge cottonmouth,” shares one user.

Susan Lucci showed off a fresh new style when she was seen wearing skinny jeans, and fans had a lot to say about it.
Susan Lucci is usually seen at fancy events in stunning dresses, so fans are used to her dressed up.
But this week, the “All My Children” star shared a photo in a casual outfit, which got a lot of attention from her followers! Susan posted a picture from the Lindt Chocolate Factory in Zurich, Switzerland, wearing skinny jeans, a fitted jacket, and white sneakers.
She ended the runway show in style, walking to the song “I’m Every Woman” by Whitney Houston while wearing a stunning green off-the-shoulder gown.
Afterwards, she shared her excitement on social media, saying: “Good morning! I’m at Good Day NY wearing a fabulous Dennis Basso polka dot outfit! I love him and feel so honored to be the finale of his beautiful Spring/Summer 2025 Fashion Week show in New York yesterday!”
Susan was the perfect fit for the show, which celebrated beauty at every age. At 77, she looks amazing as always and recently shared her beauty secret with HELLO! magazine while attending the City of Hope Awards in New York, where she was honored for her charity work.
She revealed that her beauty routine is actually very simple—and the best part? It’s almost free!
Susan shared her routine: “I start my day with coffee and then drink hot water with lemon throughout the day! I mostly follow a Mediterranean diet—lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish! I also do Pilates almost every morning.”
She’s feeling better than ever now, after going through a tough time in recent years. In 2022, she began having shortness of breath and chest and jaw pain, but even with her health history, she hesitated to see a doctor at first.
In an interview with People, Susan said, “I couldn’t believe it. After telling women for years to not be afraid to call the doctor and take care of themselves, I ended up not following my own advice.”
Doctors found that she had an 80% blockage in one of her arteries due to cholesterol and had to put another stent in her heart to clear the blockage after she was rushed to the hospital.
In early March, she told People, “I’m doing really well. I always keep track of how I’m feeling,” and added that her recovery is “so far, so good.”
