Watch This Squirrel Start A Fight With A Snake

Watch This Squirrel Start A Fight With A Snake

You've got to say it's brave.

The last time you saw a squirrel was probably in the John Lewis advert where there's one having a whale of a time on trampoline.

But that isn't real life. In real life the fox on the trampoline would eat that squirrel. That's just nature.

In our cold, cruel world, animals aren't all lovely and festive, they're little savages. Check out this video of a squirrel starting on a snake.

I know what you're thinking, 'it's bitten off more than it can chew', but you'd be surprised, because the furry lad can hold his own against its slithering enemy.

People in the comments seem to think that brave little squirrel is just trying to protect its family. I personally think the little hard case has been on the Buckfast all day and now he reckons he can take on anyone.

The snake seems to give up pretty quickly. It fights back at first, but then it just seems to want to clear off and get away from the whole situation.

But the squirrel isn't giving up. Check out its little attack at about 1.47, when it's really trying to break the skin. Such a little bastard.
