You're not eating me yet: Snake coils itself around heron's beak as it tries to avoid becoming bird's lunch
This is the moment a snake fought back against its predator, coiling itself around the beak of an attacking heron.
The
Blue Heron had been looking for food around a quiet marsh when he
suddenly bit off more than he could chew with the feisty snake.
As
the heron spotted the snake crawling through the grass it quickly
bundled over looking for an easy meal and was expecting to gobble it
down as usual.
But the snake had other ideas - and
rather than being fast food it tightly wrapped it's long body around the
heron's beak before it had the chance to bite.
The
amazing moment was captured by keen photographer Peter Brannon, 35, who
couldn't believe his eyes as the amusing moment unfolded during a trip
to Delray Beach in Florida, US.
Peter,
from Nova Scotia, Canada, said: 'This area called The Green Cay
Wetlands is a protected area where wildlife thrives and regularly puts
on a show for photographers.
