How a Roadrunner Beats a Venomous Coral Snake

How a Roadrunner Beats a Venomous Coral Snake link video : https://youtu.be/PRQg00e0voo A bird that weighs about a pound picks a fight with a coral snake, armed with a venom that attacks the nerves. The snake has the venom. The roadrunner has a plan. A coral snake's fangs are tiny and fixed, so to deliver a real dose it has to bite and hold on for a second or two. The roadrunner's whole strategy is to never give it that time. It flares its wings so the snake strikes at feathers, ignores the snake's tail-as-a-head decoy, and waits for the real head. Then it strikes first, clamps down just behind the head, beats the snake against the ground and swallows it head first, walking around with the tail hanging out of its beak while the front digests. 00:00 Venom vs a one-pound bird 00:48 The roadrunner 01:52 The coral snake and its warning colors 02:56 The standoff 04:32 The strike 05:36 Swallowed head first 06:40 Why the bird wins 07:28 Sunset #roadrunner #coralsnake #wildlife #naturedocumentary #animals ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This video is created for educational, documentary, and storytelling purposes.
