During an infantry training exercise, junior US Army National Guard sniper Pfc William Snyder kept his cool and maintained focus.

According to the Alabama National Guard, "Our snipers are trained to remain perfectly still for hours on end in position and remain invisible to enemies and wildlife".

A few details on the southern black racer.

The maximum length of an adult black racer can go up to 70 inches. They are nonvenomous and can be found in southeastern USA and most of Florida.

They live off frogs, toads, lizards, small rodents and other snakes.
