Wild Rattlesnake Strike w/ Slow Motion views

This is a large wild Timber Rattlesnake in ambush position waiting on a meal. This is the shortened version with slow motion views of the main clip which includes footage of the snake tracking down the Squirrel afterwards. This was streaming LIVE from USeeWildlife.com and occurred naturally (not staged). The snake has been hunting for days and has struck many times at Squirrels with each one being a miss...that is until today perhaps. Ok, I won't spoil it. You can be the judge after watching. This happened on July 20th, 2010. Did I say you can watch this and more LIVE at USeeWildlife.com for FREE?

fantastic capture........very lucky to see this; or was it set up?

[useewildlife]

@pseudechis No, it wasn't setup. It was completely wild and happened with no outside involvement. We have been very fortunate to see this and much more live and in the wild. Please check out our website (USeeWildlife) when you can.
