Amazing footage. I would have imagined they would wait until the badger is suffocated and then steal it from the snake, but nope.

This was on the front page of Yahoo. I was watching it at our family get together and telling everyone what an amazingly video it is. I might have to draw something based on this. 83

Great idea. Either the world's fullest badger or Nyoka comes in and saves team snek again, like with that "eaten alive" pic

I’ve drawn some pretty full badgers. 83

That you did. But those jackals deserve a trip to a stomach in my opinion.

I feel sorry for the snake, which is guess is telling bias.

I would have been perfectly happy if everyone had survived this video, but failing that I’m glad it was the badger who won.

Ideal outcome would have been 3 large bulges |3

Or a really, really full badger. 83

True!

Awesome video. Of corse the badger won that

When does the polar bear show up?

Heh, damn it. Now I really want to see Uvuzi with a jackal in her gut, one about to go into her mouth, and a badger held in her coils. =P

That was quite the spectacle! It was interesting to note that all three of them decided that the python was the biggest threat and worked together to take it down

Seems almost like the jackals came to the badger's rescue. The way they moved actually reminded me a lot of how you see badgers and coyotes cooperating sometimes in America.

I could just hear the dialogue.

Jackal: (trots up) "Hey, you need some help?"
Badger: "Fuck off! This is my kill!"
Jackal: "Yeah, like Hell. Yo snake!" (bites) "Blink if you want me to stop!"

(later)

Jackal: "Phew, that was invigorating. What do you say we split this three ways, then celebrate at the Tame Cam-"
Badger: "Fuck off!" (grabs one end) "This is my kill!"

And one grabs the other snake's end to play tug of war, waiting to yoink it away as soon as the other one sneaks up behind the badger and bites him on the butt.

Snakes like that are very dangerous but if they can’t coil you up they are also very vulnerable. All of the mammals saw the snake as a potential meal. It could have gone another way but partway into the video the badger gets the python by the neck and kills it. Weasels in general have very powerful bites and the snake goes from threat to food in about five seconds. And while it reminded me of badger/coyote teams as well,,that badger wasn’t about to share. 83

*nods* The mistake was by the jackals.

1st jackal: "What do we do next time? Kill the snake after Badgeneezer Scrooge passes out? Or take our chances fighting the snake after he gets eaten completely?"
2nd jackal: "I don't know, right now I just. . . Badgeneezer What-now?"
1st jackal: "It's a human reference. Saw it on one of those magic boxes in the Tame Camp after we. . . Well, you know. . ."

The safest approach would be to attack the snake while it was swallowing the dead honey badger or just after. A snake can and will regurgitate swallowed prey if threatened but there would be a window of opportunity in which it was very vulnerable. Grabbing it by the tail and dragging it out, which happened after the snake was dead but could happen while it was alive, is also a good strategy. Wear out the snake until it’s exhausted and then go for the kill.
