This squirrel is one tough cookie. Stay with the video and check out the damage done to the snake. (Pardon the music. Better if muted)
Reminds me of this rabbit!

Snake and Falcon in Death Grip
This is a great story. Read this and then view the photos.
This has to be the weirdest thing that ever floated by me in the river.
They were stuck together in death lock, each wanting to kill the other first.
My guess is that the falcon snatched up the tasty snake, and it somehow got its tail around the falcons neck, strangling it in midair causing both of them to crash into the comal river. They are both alive and well, considering.
I think a few more minutes and the snake would have won. The tail was actually tied in a knot around the neck, and getting tighter by the second. I got the snake untied, and well, as you can see, they both made it.
This is another one of those stories you tell, and are always acknowledged with “yeah, right!” Well, here’s the proof.
Neither of them bit me or scratched me, the snake didn’t want to stop biting the falcons leg, and only let go after I had untied everything else.
I got the water out of the falcons lungs with birdie inversion technique, and stayed with him until he was almost dried off in the sun, and flying a little.
Ball of snake and falcon, that is the weirdest thing I have pulled out of the water so far, it beats the wagon wheel!

Huge Rattle Snake near Austin Texas
OK, so rattlesnakes are not that odd, and huge ones, even though rare, are not that odd either. What struck me about these pictures is that a rattler could consume a very large rabbit. And, of course, the email came with the typical warning to be on the look out for snakes in the area and that this monster was in the back yard as kids were playing in the front yard.
