A snake in Israel found why porcupines aren’t a good part of a snake’s diet plan, an image reveals.
The snake and porcupine both passed away when the reptile attempted to rid itself of its now-unwanted meal, according to a Facebook post by the Nature and Gardens Authority.
A picture with the post reveals the snake and its spiny victim dead near a dog park in the neighborhood of Shoham, the post said.
“It can be assumed that the snake tried to devour the porcupine and as soon as it decided to abandon its unusual meal, it realized the magnitude of its mistake,” reptile ecologist Aviad Bar said on Facebook, according to a translation by The Jerusalem Post.
But it was far too late — the one-way instructions of the porcupine’s protective quills avoided the snake from spitting it out, leaving both animals dead, Bar said on Facebook.
He determined the snake as a non-venomous member of the black whip snake types. Israel has 41 types of snakes and 3 types of porcupines, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Shoham is a neighborhood in main Israel about 15 miles southeast of Tel Aviv.
