Rattlesnake v. Chipmunk

Re: Rattlesnake v. Chipmunk
Awesome picture. So at what point did the Chipmunk attack the snake and eat it whole. Those cute furry guys have a dark side...LOL

I always enjoy this pic when I happen upon it

This is a tremedous photo....looks like some dinner for the snake. Better the chippy than you!

Looks like dinner to me... Nice photo.

Re: Rattlesnake v. Chipmunk
Great photo, at first look the snake resembles a Copperhead instead of a Rattler. Regardless, I bet what type of snake it was did not matter to the Chipmunk (aka trail snack)

Awesome picture!

Hmm so the snake was just waiting for the venom to do its job on the chipmunk?

The chipmunk was barely breathing when I walked up on the pair. The snake was very relaxed, so I watched for about 5 minutes to see what would happen. The chipmunk was still alive then, I needed to be on my way and I had passed a little girl hiking with her dad not too long before then, so before I left I moved the pair well off to the side of the trail. Didn't want him to become agitated as she passed by.

Spot on. Thank God for the "zoom" feature on a camera! Did the snake end up eating the chipmunk?

Fabulous! What timing!!
