Talk about a snake showdown! This print captures the ultimate battle of California's wild west. In one corner, we have the fearless California Kingsnake, known for its insatiable appetite and impressive hunting skills. And in the other corner, we have the formidable Western Diamondback Rattler, armed with its venomous fangs and deadly reputation. But wait. . . what's this? It seems like our Kingsnake has decided to take a bite out of crime by devouring its own kind! Who knew cannibalism could be so captivating? This incredible snapshot taken by Ardea Picture Library photographer David Northcott showcases nature at its most jaw-dropping.
