Brent Jones was working at the Shady Trell Ranch in Jacksboro, a town in Texas. He opened the stall door to see the two snakes wrapped around each other. The coachwhip had overpowered over the rattlesnake and was swallowing its prey. The coachwhip got a hold of the rattlesnake and began eating it. Jones told local media it took about 45 minutes for the coachwhip to make a meal out of the rattlesnake.

While some people have freaked out on watching this video, it has got over 2,64,000 views and many shares. Someone in the comments called it a "nightmare," whereas some other enjoyed watching this snake fight.

It may seem odd, but snakes eating other snakes is not new. There are several species that make prey of other smaller slithering reptiles. But a rare case was captured in Phillippines last year when a video showed a cobra swallowing a python! Both of them are dangerous snakes but the cobra emerged as the predator. It was indeed a bizarre sight.
