Snakes are terrifying.
That won’t be probably the most skilled or journalistic approach to begin this story, nevertheless it’s all I might take into consideration as I watched this footage. I’ve seen loads of “snake eats something alive” movies, and by some means this one is worse than all of the others.
Considering that there are movies on the market of pythons swallowing alligators and deer entire, you may suppose I’m exaggerating once I say the clip under is worse than these. There’s simply one thing about seeing somewhat toad combating for its life that sticks with you.

“He’s too big for you. Leave him alone. What the ****? You can’t swallow him, you’re a garter snake.”
The garter snake should have heard that and thought of it a problem, as a result of following that commentary, it solely sped up its digestion of the amphibian. It first simply had a maintain of the toad’s again leg, nevertheless it quickly began contorting its mouth to succeed in all the way in which across the toad’s again.
After about 10 minutes, the snake was lastly in a position to swallow the toad entire…and whereas it was nonetheless alive. I don’t suppose I’ll ever overlook a number of the haunting photographs of the toad combating for its life, and on that be aware, I’ll information you to press the play button under (should you dare):
