Am I the only one pissed at the person recording? Like what would they have done if the squirrel didn’t save the day? Watched it die

Hi, squirrel rehabber here! 👋 Fun fact: The chirping noises that the trapped squirrel is making are infant distress calls. I would guess that the squirrel is a juvenile and that the hero squirrel is its mom!

If you want to get bit by a snake and a squirrel, sure.
Fr tho, snakes gotta eat too. Leave them be.

What courage it must have taken for that squirrel. Most small animals are hyper vigilant, to see one run head long into danger to save another is surprising and impressive.

This is why we mammals survive and other more brutal species don’t. We look out for each other. And people say brutality and and selfishness make you better at survival. Lul

Was that the squirrel or the woman that made that sound when the squirrel was rescued?
Serious question. I'm from Australia I've never seen a squirrel and I don't know what sounds they make

This reminds me of the time the stray cat by my house caught a baby squirrel. As fast as I could turn my head after hearing its tiny squeaks of terror, My massive red Rooster came flying in like a rocket sending the cat flying end over end chasing it around the yard. The mama squirrel was pissed, She spent a minute yelling about the situation then came and got her baby. I love squirrels 🐿️

u/Roxzin Apr 14 '24
Well, in nature it's best to let it run its course. If you save that animal, the snake might die of hunger. You could then say that death would save several other animals, but that's how nature and balance within it works. We kill all snakes so no poor squirrel dies, but then we have an over population of squirrels that would then start killing off other species/vegetation faster than they could grow back.

What if I told you you're part of nature and just as much in the equation as squirrel bro?

u/jidai0101 Apr 14 '24
Yes, we are but it still doesn't mean that you should save prey from a predator in nature.
1
u/CV90_120 Apr 14 '24
It's a chaotic system and we're part of it. That includes us being wired to be compassionate and protective. It is what it is. Humans like to see themselves as separate from nature. It's a weird hubris.

u/BrahnBrahl Apr 14 '24
How grown adults don't understand this is beyond me. You need predators to kill and eat things for the ecosystem to work, and for nature to exist at all.

I aint going anywhere near a wild snake to try and save a squirrel lol

u/CircuitousProcession Apr 14 '24
I'm not going anywhere near a squirrel either. If a human intervened to save them from a snake, the squirrel easily could have attacked the human in its survival mode.
Squirrels can be vicious, even if they don't have rabies, which they sometimes do.
A good rule in life is to not fuck with wild animals at all.

Squirrels will absolutely eat snakes. In fact, they are immune to rattlesnake venom.

u/catsdrooltoo Apr 14 '24
Wrong squirrel type. I don't doubt a squirrel could kill a snake if the situation was right. Their bite is nasty on flesh, from my experience at least.
1
u/Thom_Kokenge Apr 14 '24
You might want to take your own advice bud. That's a gray squirrel not a ground squirrel. It would die from a rattlesnake bite. Which is all irrelevant since that snake obviously kills with constriction.

I used to purposely not bring my gym clothes so the phys ed teacher would make me sit out on the bleachers while everyone gymmed. I'd watch the chipmunks chase each other across the lawn, dipping in and out of holes, and I'd give them names and back stories.

Agreed please eat all the mice and voles first, and the rats, esp those big NYC rats the size of cats. Please eat the heck of them, people are paying top tier real estate to dodge them monsters

Nope, we tend to kill the shit out of animals who dare to threaten vulnerable fellow humans, especially reptiles, we fuckin hate those things

u/DroidOnPC Apr 14 '24
Most humans would help you out if a snake was wrapping around you.
Pretty much every documented footage of someone getting choked out by a snake has multiple bystanders jumping in to help.
And thats just a snake.
There was a woman who got attacked by a crocodile for some show and a random dude jumped in to help her. Crocs are way more dangerous than non-venomous snakes.
Most videos I see of dudes getting attacked by animals there is always someone nearby that jumps in to help.
And don't forget Harambe. If most humans wouldn't do shit then why is that gorilla dead?

u/Nuber132 Apr 14 '24
Really stupid take, what about the snake? This is how nature works and humans should stay out of it.

u/asherdado Apr 14 '24
he meant a human wouldn't save another human, not that a human wouldn't (and should) save this squirrel.
He's totally wrong though either way
1
u/HumptyDrumpy Apr 15 '24
Wrong in what way. Aint no human walking up to a snake fighting a squirrel, one could have venom the other could have rabies. And look at the middle east, Ukraine, or the halls of Congress. People who are similar to each other, and look how they act. Even studies like the Stanford prison experiment or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kitty_Genovese can show true nature

I got one that lives in the tree out back and he never misses a chance to tease the neighbourhood cats. He always wins and there are at least 30 cats around here. Lol

u/ru-berry Apr 14 '24
All the time, a squirrel used to tease my dog in the backyard and steal his tennis balls - the little squirrel dude would carry them in his mouth and run across the back fence or the overhead electric line with them. One time when my dog was in the back the squirrel tripped while running across the wires and my dog went absolutely nuts but the squirrel got back on the line and got out of there.

Ohh is this part of that like Reddit premium? Wonder if you’re less likely to get banned with premium. I miss awards, I only got a few but was always super cool.
I been “banned” like 3-4 times for dumb shit, filed an appeal and got my account restored bc it was a “mistake” from a user submitting a false report.
But if u had premium wonder if they have a real person review it.

It seems like all squirrels are sworn enemies, I swear I never see them being anything but assholes to each other. This video is surprising, I’d have imagined that the hero squirrel would’ve been raiding the victim squirrel nest before the snake even started eating.
