Watch how cleverly deceptive the snake becomes by playing dead to fool its captor…

Awesome moment captured on film by 53 year old Technician, Frank De Souza on 14 November 2016 in Marloth Park.
Frank told Latest Sightings: “I’ve seen many snakes over the years but never a southern vine snake. I know them to be very shy and highly venomous. There is no antidote if bitten by one of these snakes.
This was the first time I had ever seen a bird fighting a snake. There were 4 of us on a walk looking for birds to take pictures of when suddenly we saw a Grey Headed Bush-shrike on the dirt road jumping around and flying up and down.
As we slowly went closer we saw a snake not far off. The bush-shrike and snake began to fight each another until the snake pretended to be dead. The bird was not so easily fooled and the fighting then continued.
Suddenly the bird was now fighting with two snakes at the same time. We immediately started filming.
My wife Alida and I were both amazed to have captured this sighting, it was a fantastic experience.
The snake who originally acted dead woke up and shot off like a rocket into the bushes leaving the bird to attack the second snake until it also played dead. Finally he kept pulling the snake around and we left.”

The description said the snake was only playing dead and got away later.
Awesome footage, rivotting! Thanks!

Love this video, nice footage
The snake who fainted was obviously a Fighting Type. No wonder the bird's Peck attack was super effective.

The answers you seek are in the clip description between the clip itself and the comments section
Blaspheme, I want a full director's cut on this clip. This has been edited to the point where it put viewers to think the bird has killed the snake; truthfully humans had intervened with nature.

The bird pull the snake to other direction away from it's nest. Magnifique. !!
get away, its dead ?
Кому интересно - это Сероголовый кустарниковый сорокопут. Обитает практически по всей Африке. Как и все сорокопуты грозный хищник, хотя относится к воробьинообразным. Змея, кстати, ядовитая. Есть долгое латинское название, писать не стал.
whaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice
The bird got him. At first I thought that the bird is trying to protect its nest.
That bird pecked the shit out of that snake. Homie looks dead.

That snake is too big of a food for that small bird. Snake probably got too close to the birds nest, so the mama bird teaching it lesson! It's very common , lizard type animals to play dead to avoid to be eaten. Even some bugs do that.

szaki how does playing dead stop it getting eaten though? Surely that just makes it easier to kill/eat? I’m not disputing you I’m just curious aha

Incredible fight between a beautiful bird and a snake.Happy final.
this bird is called the grey headed bush-shrike
Never mind, just read it is a bush shrike
This is the spring time, the birds are on the nests. this bird does not hunt snakes for food, it protects the eggs from being eaten by the snake.
"Living on the edge"
Unbelievable
That bird is known to peck out snake eyes
Angry birds lol
awesome
What's the name of the bird in this video and is the bird immuned to the snake venom?
Вот тебе и птичка......
it like the snake was trying to decide to give up on life and let the bird kill it
very nice,, this is first look for me...!
Es una de las maravillas de la creación de Dios
For a moment there it felt like going back to prehistoric times.
You can see in the end of the video the bird attacking the eye of a snake, it's a classic behaviour even though vision is one of the less used sense in the snakes clade!! It's not useless but the snake can still find and eat the eggs!!!
これは、ヘビを食べようとしているのか？巣とか雛が襲われそうで退治しているのか？
What snake is it?
now what is this
birb vs snek
How will we ever have peace if a bird and a snakeey cant even get along
The head end of the snake is so much bigger. Perhaps it's in the process of swallowing baby birds!
The snake is getting tired.
What kind of bird is that?

A non venomous snake like that has almost no defense. Small head, tiny teeth. Slow. Bird is fast and has a sword for a nose.

Like this bird and its attitude toward snakes. It is a reversal of the usual ecological role. Snakes are a bother and threat to so many other creatures. Here the bird is being the bother. Tuff little bird.
