RE: The darker side of Nature

in #nature9 days ago

I know. Earlier this year I heard a rabbit scream as a snake grabbed its baby. My experience was a bit happier from a human perspective. The mama rabbit kept drop kicking the snake, but the baby was saved by a dude in our group that grabbed the snake. I guess that was a bad day for the snake, but somehow felt good as a person.

Here's a pic of the snake. It was a pretty big black snake.

So cool... I like snakes a lot. We have a green emerald boas all over the area.

You know, in terms of the number of lives taken in order to survive, I suspect that snakes are probably one of the least prolific killers. That eagle probably has to kill at least 2-3 things a day but snakes can go months without eating sometimes.
