This is the only video evidence ever captured on film of the reclusive "opisthotonus" or "death pose", as described below... Nobody scientifically has ever captured this event you see at the end of this clip in a non-lethal form... Ever... So this is the rarist of rare clips in non-lethal ******** * opisthotonus - opisthotonus or opisthotonos, from greek roots, ὄπισθεν, opisthen meaning "behind" and τόνος tonos meaning "tension", is a state of severe hyperextension and spasticityin which an individual's head, neck and spinal column enter into a complete "bridging" or "arching" position.[1][2] opisthotonus is seen with ******** victims - called the "opisthotonic death pose". * death pose the cause of this posture—sometimes called a "death pose"—has been a matter of scientific debate. faux and padian suggested in 2007 that the live animal was suffering opisthotonus during its death throes, and that the pose is not the result of any post-mortem process at all. They also reject the idea of water as responsible for randomly arranging the bodies in a "death pose", as different parts of the body and the limbs can be in different directions, which they found unlikely to be the result of moving water.[3] they also found that the claim that drying out of ligaments would make the position does not seem believable either.
