I will go look. That is very cool!
They are amazing aren't they? Did you see the series I posted on here o0f the watersnake eating the large bulhead catfish? That fish was 12 inches long or more and the snake managed to get over half of the fish down before diving under the water when another snake tried to take it away
Sometimes a watersnake will try to eat prey that is too big anyway:

Thanks everyone....I love these types of shots too. I always get so excited when I come across something like this, and I send up silent prayers that they "DON'T MOVE!" before I can get the camera ready and take the pictures LOL
Wow I love multi-species shots
Amazing spotting!
Love this spotting! Thanks for sharing.
Neither is quite big enough to eat the other...a quite common scenario.
