Wow.  These are really cool photos of a snake consuming a monitor lizard.  Reportedly in Arizona.

Get a gander at this huge eastern diamondback rattlesnake.  Reportedly the largest ever recorded.

HUGE!

Another view of this beast

Wow.

It’s hard to tell from the photos if they killed this sucker. It would be a shame to kill such a magnificent creature. Although, I usually follow the philosophy that the only good snake is a dead snake — you know — the kind you see in jars of formaldehyde.

I’d like to to see the rattle on this one. Anyone have additional photos?

This one has been around awhile now. I’ve seen it come to my inbox via email numerous times. Still, it is an amazing video of the tenacious defense of a nest by a woodpecker.

The last time this came to me it was noted that the woodpecker was a “Mexican” woodpecker.  I don’t know what that is.  It appears to me that this is a common Pileated Woodpecker that makes it’s home all over the United States.

Check out these dramatic photos of  a group of deer sunning themselves on a snow mobile trails.

Beautiful

This humongous hog was killed near the town of Cut-N-Shoot, Texas.  Yes, that is the real name of the town.  See here

Over 1,800 lb. wild boar shot and killed near the County Airport, East of I-45 and near the community of Cut and Shoot.  Killed by a medical radiology worker.  What would you do if this beast was coming at you? Run for dear life? Climb a tree? Or simply get run over ?

There are some that say you should stand still in the face of a hog.  Apparently, their sight is bad and would not charge you.  I’ve got to say Good Luck with that approach.  As for me, I’m running.

Makes the guy look tiny
