I don’t like snakes but as animals and the sheer power they have has always fascinated me. This picture reflects survival in its most extreme form. Many years ago, when I made my living as animal behaviorist, I observed a large snake lay in ambush near a waterhole. The snake never moved, not even a twitch of a muscle. Finally a goat came close enough and within a spit second the snake became alive like a swirling hurricane she catapulted herself toward the unsuspecting prey. In less than two seconds the snake had wrapped herself completely around the goats body. It took the snake four hours to devour the large horned goat. That thought me something about patience, endurance and hard work.
