A five-year-old girl has died after she was bitten by a snake while playing hide and seek.
The child was playing in her dad's house in Bihar, India, when she was attacked by the dangerous reptile.
The young girl was rushed to the North Dinajpur Raiganj Hospital.
Sadly doctors were unable to treat her and she later died in the hospital.
Forty snakes were discovered at the property following the incident, local sources say.
The snakes were gathered into sacks and containers for removal, with a large audience gathering to watch.
They were released into a nearby forest, according to local reports.
Earlier this month The Mirror reported that a six-year-old boy has died after being bitten by a rattlesnake during a bike ride with his dad and sister.
Simon Currat was removed from life support after the snake bite sent him into a coma on July 5.
The six-year-old had been cycling with his dad Nic and three-year-old sister Renee at Bluestem Prairie Open Space in Colorado Springs, in the US.
When the family stopped for water, Simon ran ahead to take a look at a mile marker sign before yelling " rattlesnake ".
The youngster then collapsed and started to turn purple as his father raced towards him.
Nic did not have his phone so he picked up his son and rushed him to the nearest neighbourhood, with Renee running beside them.
