Ground Squirrels Repel Gopher Snake

[mabarbour]

Great Video. Do you mind if I ask where you documented this interaction? I study these same interactions but between rattlesnakes and ground squirrels and they are very different (squirrels are much less aggressive)!

[patcuvie]

@mabarbour - This was videotaped in central California, at a hot spring resort. I forget the name of the resort.

thats my birthday

[lgx22]

they have to move to another tree just because the snake inhabited their habitat

[pixelsilva]

They behave like a beisbol manager trowing dirt to the umpire. They have some kind of inmunity against the snake venom. Although able to dodge the snake bite sometimes got bit and still and harass the snake. All because their cavehole must be near close and little youngsters might be a prey for the snake and don´t have inmunity yet.

[shadoweon]

Yay squirrelies,they didn't get hurt!

[ccsecond]

lmao @ CDMATHISSR talks of equating a human life against a snake and then tells the person to kill himself! lol

[ongsoegiarto]

waiging tail is cute.. but gonna die soon.. lol

[jamminjoseph]

Snakes flick their tongues and check the mood of the animals they confront by pheromones in the air. Is the animal afraid, perhaps prey? or is it like this squirrel, ready to fight.

[writeonyourhand]

someone should hire the squirrel to do pest control

[CDMATHISSR]

Shownomercy and the other dumb fuck up there,How the fuck can you equate a human life with that of a snake?Here's an IDEA why don't you and the other panty salsa go and do the world a favor and go hang yourselves!

[GFY1954]

Ground squirrel's developing snake controll? ..wow!

[araldenizi]

i wish i was there to help the squirrels a little bit by cutting the snake's head off

[ShowNoMercy502]

You are an idiot

So the snake isn't cute and fuzzy, so I guess it deserves to die, right? You're probably one of those idiots who'll stomp a snake on sight just because you 'don't like them'

To be honest, I don't like alot of people, but I don't go killing them, even asmuch as I'd like to. Let them live and do their own thing

[sts70004]

haha I like your response to that. I agree, snakes have a bad reputation, but they didn't really do anything to deserve it. Because Eve was tricked by a snake in the Garden of Eden? Come on now, really. I'd agree if a snake slithered up to me and offered me an apple, but as of today, thats never happened.

[araldenizi]

shut the fuck up you idiot, and yes, i kill every snake i see just because i don't like'em, what are you gonna do about it?

[valandilcamcacil]

why do you kill snakes? Just because they're different. That's why we enslaved Blacks before the civil war. You shouldn't kill something just to kill it because its different.

[araldenizi]

well valandilcamcacil i think it was a mistake to free the slaves

[valandilcamcacil]

no one asked you what you're opinion was. I just stated that we shouldn't hate something or someone cause they're different. What if all the black people enslaved whites. I would love to see you as a slave cause you wouldn't be able to handle the life they went through

[Korinski]

Nothing boosts an economy like free labor. Vote yes on proposition 69! Sorry bubba, but some one has to cook that delicious chicken you like so much.

[perseus47]

it's like a drawn out pokemon battle

[my83merc]

I would have loved to see that in person. But I can't help wonder how funny I could make the first half of this video by dubbing the squirrels shouting in a drunk scottish accent at the snake...

[my83merc]

I love snakes, but that was very cool to watch.

[patcuvie]

Thanks my83merc. I was hoping that there would be thoughtful people like you that would watch and enjoy this video as I enjoyed seeing it live.

[Batchylnuevos]

Apparently you have no clue what a ground squirrel is.

[jbrog95]

i wish the snake got him

[11guilty11]

i agree go snake go they rule i have a gopher snake

[WcHDICE]

I hate Ground squirrels go snake go

[ciely1]

The snake won this battle it ate the babys
