Something that will take you by shock today, is a picture of a squirrel biting a snake. This picture has gone viral online and it shows a squirrel clutching a snake, reportedly before it devoured it "down to the last two inches."
According to NDTV reports, the squirrel and snake picture was shared online by USA's National Park Service, who said that it was clicked at the Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
"Rock squirrels eat mostly plant material, fruits and nuts, but don't let their humble appearance fool you. They will also eat bird eggs, lizards and snakes," they wrote while sharing the photograph. They further added that after the picture was clicked, the squirrel proceeded to devour "most of the snake, bones and all, down to the last two inches."
After the picture going viral, it has collected over 7,000 reactions and more than 3,000 'shares'.
Meanwhile according to Huffington Post, the picture was clicked back in 2009 by park ranger William Leggett, and recently shared online again. He said that the squirrel was a nursing female, which is probably why she got "extra defensive" when she saw the snake.
