CBS5 (San Francisco, California) 18 July 05 Caught On Tape: Rattlesnakes Wrestle
{Video at URL below}
A family in Southern California recorded some dramatic video of two five-foot rattlesnakes wrestling on the lawn.
The homeowners in West Hills said it was not out of the ordinary to see an occasional snake in the yard during the summertime, but it was usual to see two big snakes.
Animal experts say it may have been a territorial fight between two males, or it could possibly have been a mating ritual between a male and a female.
The fire department eventually removed and destroyed the snakes.
