Shot this last week at Castlewood State Park near St. Louis, MO. Noticed a long section of snake on top of a log, and when I approached the snake pulled its head out from under the log to reveal a mouthful of mouse with two pups attached! The snake darted around looking for an escape, losing one pup in the process.



Nikon d70, Sigma 105 Macro lens.
