Snake vs. Centipede | National Geographic

dinnertime with this female centipede
here in Africa on the menu fresh
grasshopper when this centipede goes out
to eat
she doesn’t hire a babysitter nope she
packs her young securely in the tender
trap of her own back legs work security
togetherness centipede Family Values
when it’s time to put the kids to bed
all she does is lift up her rear end and
March toe out in the African night on
her own she draws the attention of a
predator this small black headed snake
whose diet is comprised mainly of
centipedes the snake attacks the
centipede mom fights back in defense but
the snake holds on with hungry
determination the snake’s venom works
and the centipede is a goner now the
snake has the same problem as a dog then
chases after a school bus
what does it do when it catches
the centipedes potty is almost twice as
wide as the snake
not that this stops the starting with
the head the snake swallows the scent of
need home gulping down every last lake
at least the babies weren’t along for
the ride this time
