Snake and Rabbit II

Snake and Rabbit II

Nature is not always pleasant. It is, as the saying goes, red in tooth and claw.

It was on the extremely bumpy drive up to one of the base camps during my time in Honduras that this scene was observed. On the side of the pot-holed road, the snake and the rabbit were fighting – both for their continued existence.

Despite the strong grip that the snake had on its prey, the rabbit still had a chance of escaping. But if its prey escaped, the snake would have a diminished chance of survival.
