Mother rat saves its pup from being eaten by a snake
Updated | By Poelano Malema
It's not everyday that you see the rodent family defending its brood from one of their biggest predators - a snake!
This snake thought lunch was served when it caught a rat. Unfortunately, it did not know that this time around it messed with the wrong rat.
The rat’s mother can be seen taking the snake head on by pouncing and biting its tail, causing it to let go of the little rat.
Just when it seemed like all was well, with the rat out of the snake’s mouth, another danger struck. This time around a car almost saw the little rat destroyed, but luckily, the mom managed to quickly snatch the rat from the road and ran off to safety.
Below is the incredible video.
