Snake and Protective Squirrel

Yesterday Torben and Kaitlin sent me this link to a video of a squirrel defending its babies from a snake.

I looked to see if there were other videos, but in these the squirrel wasn’t throwing dirt at the snake, it was actually attacking it.

I didn’t know that!

    In that first video, that squirrel was seriously trying to kill that snake, and I wonder if it didn’t die.

    The one in the second video made me so on edge watching it. Moms will do a lot for their babies!

    I hate everything snakes!!

    We would never have expected that squirrel to be that brave!!! The video with the babies was so cute and fun to watch.

    On edge, for sure! There are no words to define how much I hate snakes … or so how much I love squirrels.

  5. Ginny Hartzler says:

    Sorry, I’m terrified of snakes, so did not watch much of this. It would give me nightmares. We love nature documentaries, but I always fast forward through the snakes. On the other hand, I love squirrels and chipmunks.

    I don’t like snakes so I was rooting for the squirrels

      I felt sorry for that first snake at the end. I wish it had had the sense to get away earlier. But I was rooting for the squirrels to be safe.

    I did not know that squirrels would protect or fight with a snake

  8. I only watched the beginning of the snake squirrel fight. I hate snakes.
