Rattlesnakes striking at kangaroo rats

Post by jonathan »

I usually root for the herp but some of these evasions are incredible. A couple of the strikes looked like they might have landed but the rat survived if I'm reading correctly. I think it one case it looks like the rattler may even have gotten his lower teeth onto the rat and still got kicked off in the microsecond before his fangs connected.
