That is one bad ass squirrel. Reminds me of a dog (Cooper) that I had. I always said about him, "He could teach a man how to be a man."
He would fight other dogs twice his size and drive them away by shear dent of his never giving up. He would come home sometimes at night muddy, torn up, bite marks down to the bone. But that man down the road with the Rottweilers, and Great Dane, well, the bitch that was in heat would end up having little Cooper puppies, and not Rots or Danes.
I would just clean him up, shoot him with some penicillin, and he would be on his way. He was the toughest critter I've ever seen.
Sadly the very thing that protects me from evil prevents me from effectively fighting it. Give me a waiver on two of the Ten Commandments and I'll show you how you fight the Deep State.
My neighbour has cows and I feel bad eating them sometimes. When we go over there the same few cows always recognize my kids and walk over to be fed grass and petted on the nose by them.
I'm all for nature taking it's course but it's a little messed up to just record instead of helping out. Who knows, maybe the baby squirrel threw the first punch and had it coming.
The snake deserves to eat doesnt it? It is as important as the baby squirrel. So who do you help? Help the squirrel and save a baby but the snake starves? Or maybe the snake doesnt starve but eats another squirrels baby?
There are no winners and losers in this, only life. This is part of the attitude we combat.
I'd make an intelligent decision neither creature is capable of understanding, in my own best interests. If I had a barn infested with mice and an attic being shredded by squirrels I'd shoot the mother and let the snake have his dinner. If the squirrel population was declining I'd free the kid. I shoot rattlesnakes here and save Bullsnakes, not because one is better or worse than the other for nature but because one can kill livestock and children and the other can't. I've also got a mountain lion on my property that I won't allow anyone to hunt.
You combat this attitude all you want but I'm not going to watch a crocodile hunt a child either. I put mouse traps in my crawl space and kill flies in the kitchen. I toss carp on shore to die when I go fishing. Nature can take its coarse elsewhere, I make my environment more suitable for me. By your logic you shouldn't pull weeds either, let them flourish and absorb nutrients from your garden soil. Bacteria is pretty important in nature too but I'll bet you've taken antibiotics to kill some.
How is bringing up different aspects of the food chain falsely equivalent? Crocodiles gotta eat, who am I to free that child from it's teeth? Crocodile might starve or maybe find another child to eat. By your logic I should just keep recording and let the crocodile have it's dinner. "There are no winners or losers just life". Fuck that kid, reptiles gotta eat too. I'm exaggerating to debate that morality should play a part if we intervene with nature. If you wouldn't save a baby squirrel from a snake in your front yard where would you draw the line and change the course of nature?
Spare the life of the fly on your kitchen sink laying eggs in your food? Spare the wolf eating your neighbor's lamb? Let the mice shit on your canned food in the basement? Let weeds take over your vegetable garden? It's just nature and there's no winners and losers right?
Sure, living things eating living things are not equivalent to living things eating other living things. There's no losers in nature either, the Wooly Mammoth, Dodo bird and that colony of mice in my crawlspace are getting ready for a comeback. 😂
That was amazing!
The squirrel came back after the snake, had his eyes set on a snake skin belt or two.
Fighting to save her baby (I assume) won and then carried it up the tree in her mouth.
Don't mess with our babies, family, friends, POTUS, Nation and world. 🦁💪⚔️🔥
Mama squirrels ! Hopefully it made it.
The only way to lose when you outnumber the enemy is to stop fighting.
Yes!
And, even presented with 100 chances to bite the rescue squirrel, the snake missed every time. It's amazing they ever get one for a meal!
God made them extraordinary acrobats! 🐿️
Pretty badass. I prefer the Honey Badger.

I freakin love that video! His commentary is hysterical. My next dog—the honey badger!
Oh! He's sooo nasty!
Dude, sounds like Liberace narrating that clip.
A Classic.
That was intense! Go squirrel!
If a squirrel can eat a pinecone I can't imagine what it's doing to that snake.
BAD.
ASS.
I'm trying to figure out that last part.
Did the snake give up or did the squirrel land a death blow/cripple it?
The loyalty to the squirrel friend is impressive.
It's its youngling I think, by the way she carries it off.
yes, likely

Anybody else notice length cut to 2.23? Or rather 0.223 haha
The video belies our general impression of animals as being unthinking unfeeling automatons.

I agree with this message.
Damn!!! That is one badass squirrel! I want that guy on my team.
What a battle; amazing what a mother will do for its baby. Fearless!

Mods, can I request a NSFA flair? It's not safe for any of Amber's devices to accidentally see a picture of a snake.
What have you got against snakes (the genuine ones I mean, not the human version)?
It’s irrational, I know, but it’s a phobia
Not irrational...the only good snake is a dead snake..
And I don't even want that in the form of a shoe, belt or bag!
Me, either!
