Coyote Takes Down Large Snake

Occurred on May 2022 / Huntington Beach, California, USA

: "I was walking my dog on a spring morning near the wetlands area of Huntington Beach, California when I came upon a small coyote. There was something cute about him, so I began taking a video to send to my daughter. I was a safe distance away with my iPhone on full zoom. After a few seconds, the coyote surprised me by getting hold of a very large snake and tossing it in the air. I was shocked by this, both the behavior of the coyote and the size of the snake, so I continued to video. I ended up with amazing coverage of a small coyote stalking, fighting with, and carefully grabbing a large snake, and carrying it off into the trees."
