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!

Reminds me of this rabbit!
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!

Get a gander at this huge eastern diamondback rattlesnake. Reportedly the largest ever recorded.
It’s hard to tell from the photos if they killed this sucker. It would be a shame to kill such a magnificent creature. Although, I usually follow the philosophy that the only good snake is a dead snake — you know — the kind you see in jars of formaldehyde.
I’d like to to see the rattle on this one. Anyone have additional photos?
This snake was reportedly filmed in an Australian snake farm.
