Snakes alive! Bikini-clad sunbather grabs an attacking cobra with her bare hands... but is all it seems?

This is the amazing moment a woman sunbathing in South Africa catches a cobra before it can strike. The girl, sitting by what appears to be a lake or a river wearing nothing but a bikini, is captured on video performing the amazing feat seconds after she had been chatting to a friend off-screen. She uses lightning quick reflexes to grab the reptile by its throat (pictured) as it launches through the air at her, while a pair of dogs watch on from the waterside, seemingly too terrified to intervene. But eagle-eyed viewers on the internet think they have exposed the incident as a sham.
