I saw a momma goose take on a large cotton mouth (highly venomous ) and run him off from her nest.
The snake made several strike lunges at the goose but she managed to dodge them all.

And I'm not usually squeamish. People who keep live snakes, and feed lives rats, or worse, live bunnies, creep me out, too.

Guess it takes all kinds.

and fearlessness.

Animals seem to go for weakness and run away from shows of strength.

Lesson in there for elected Democrats, I suppose.

I don't think my wild rabbit is having a good time of it. Haven't seen a baby rabbit all summer. But I have seen plenty of predators.

and she did it. I'm surprised she didn't kill the snake --that was one vicious assault.
