A man was crouching on the sidewalk and frantically picking up something resembling dozens of small snakes, using a tree branch to put them in a small red bucket. “I saw what I thought was a snake, because in one of the photos I posted, it’s standing,” Lawrence said. “It was then that I looked a little further to my left, more the entrance to the Hilltop restaurant, and saw something that looked like two dozen of them.” Lawrence is a morning radio presenter for one of the city’s private radio stations. He also happens to have severe snake phobia. So serious, in fact, he said he once saw only the tail of a snake at a zoo and the next thing he knew was that paramedics woke him up. I hate it when I walk down a busy street and throw my box of snakes.

“IS THERE A MAN ON THE STREET OF PROSPEKTOS WHO COLLECTS A LOT OF SNAKES TOGETHER!?!?!?!” Lawrence posted on Facebook, attaching four photos of the man who is desperately trying to fight the creatures. “Loose snakes guy” quickly became a hot topic on the internet, with hundreds of locals shouting their theories about what exactly was going on in his photos. Many have pointed out that these snakes may not actually be reptiles. They could be eels. The plot thickened. How did these eels end up fighting for their beloved life on a warm sidewalk? And why were there so many? Alycia Sauvageau also encountered the slippery “snakes” on her way to work. “I got off the bus and got in,” Sauvageau said. “Even the bus driver was slowing down a bit and watching.” But he noticed that a man took action. With his jug full of eels, Purazam made a line to Morell Park and left it all on the St. Paul River. John. (Submitted by Dave Lawrence) “There was a taxi driver parked there for a while,” Sauvageau said. “He undertook to collect them.” It turns out that the driver was Jahandar Pourazam and he is the only one who saw what happened. He was sitting in his taxi in the Shoppers Drug parking lot on Prospect Street waiting for his next price. “A truck was carrying two containers, I think it was water,” Purazam said.
He estimates that these containers were about 500 liters each, but the lid of one was half open. Taxi driver Jahandar Pourazam worked hard to save the eels from a hot sidewalk on Monday. (Shane Fowler / CBC News) When the truck hit awkwardly on the curb, a lot of water fell on the sidewalk. “Suddenly, I realized something was moving,” Purazam said. “[I went] “Oh, what is this? Are they snakes? ” “I went closer and saw no, they are eels,” he said. “At that moment I did not know what to do.” Purazam ran back to his cabin, grabbed the small container he usually uses for street salt and filled it with water from his water bottle. Worried about using his bare hands, Purazam used twigs and leaves to pick up crumpled eels and put them back in the water. He said he was able to recover each of them, although he believes two or three were in a rough condition from their fall from the truck. With his jug full of eels, Purazam made a line to Morell Park and left it all on the St. Paul River. John.

I’m just trying to help

He says the vehicle from which the eels were ejected was unmarked, only noting that it was a Ford. He has no idea who carried a truck of eels or why. “Maybe for research, maybe for food? I do not know.” Purazam said he also had no idea that photos of him rescuing eels had been widely circulated on the Internet or that he had been christened “a man with loose snakes”. He says he was just trying to help. “It’s normal,” Pourazam said. “When you see an animal suffering, you can’t just see it suffering, you go to help it.” He says it does not matter if they were snakes or eels. “I like all kinds of life,” Purazam said.
