I saw this on Instagram today and couldn’t believe how fast these rats are. I always saw them hopping around when we lived in Arizona and felt sorry for them having to contend with the rattlers but now, after watching this a few times, I can’t imagine how the snakes ever get a meal at all. What you see the first time through honestly won’t make sense until they show you the slow-motion capture. Prepare to be impressed.
