I'm cool with the birds eating snakes (I mean, I'd rather not watch animals dismember each other, but I know it needs to happen), but I mainly hate seeing them get hit on the road, because that's just not natural.


My research mentor showed me this photo; good to know the snake doesn't always lose the fight... Even if the picture itself is a little disturbing.
