A hawk and a snake got into a wrestling match in Texas. It’s hard to tell who won
The photos show the snake’s head in the talons of the red-tail hawk, but the snakes body curls up and squeezes the hawk’s chest. It’s hard to tell who is winning the snake vs. hawk wrestling match in the photos posted on the Texas Parks and Wildlife-DFW Urban Wildlife Facebook page.
A group of seventh-grade students came across the strange sight recently, “Thinking that it was a dead bird AND dead snake,” according to the post.
But the pair were not dead. They were still both very much alive and in a potentially deadly wrestling match on the ground, the post said. The students alerted the staff at Northwest ISD Outdoor Learning Area in the Dallas-Fort Worth area
“One let go of the other (not sure which one let go first!), and the hawk flew off and the snake slithered away. What an experience!” park officials said on Facebook.
