Nature is ruthless.. not only can it eat you… but it basically has an in built radar to find you when your weak. As if there’s no escape
When you hear the voice of Sir Attenborough talking about you going on about your daily business, you know your life is gojng to end soon 😅
The fact that the snake can swallow under water and still breathe is crazy
It’s the filming production that blows my mind
That moment when a crayfish is as soft as a boiled egg—nature’s perfect snack time for the queen snake!
There are some extremely specific creatures in this world.
Jethro of the Beverly Hill Billies liked smoked crawdad. In one episode he met some hippies in a San Francisco park who were smoking weed. A hippy said to him, "What do you smoke man?" He replied, "I smoke crawdads, they're in this here bag". The hippie put his hand in the bag and pulled it out with a live crawdad nipping his finger. "You smoke THEM?! Man you're way too weird for us!" And they all ran off terrified.
A snake eating a Crab, wooow that's new to me 😮😮
Snakes need to learn how to boil those crawfish
amazing how long the snake could hold its breath!!!
So the queen snake is that one friend with super specific dietary requirements that you never invite over for dinner ...
ヘビの丸吞みする力はすごいね
I didn’t know that there were 🐍 that love to eat only crayfish.
These nature videos are literally the best there is in bringing out one would never know without such dedicated work by many. Mr David Attenborough being the master naturalist with his passionate narrations makes them stand out from many others
That was wild. No pun intended.
This is the equivalent of the Psycho shower scene - like, I'm all naked and vulnerable and...AHHH I'M BEING MURDERED!! 😅😮
I never knew crayfish had a ‘soft spot’ for danger—literally! Molting = tasty vulnerability.
From what I learned, not only snakes can hold their breath underwater for a long time but they can also sense and eat prey during that time too as well. 🐍
Wow, that sucks. Usually, the predator kills its prey prior to swallowing.
Well that put me off my dinner
