Farmer finds snake coiled around duck
Updated | By East Coast Radio
Farmers living on a farm often find themselves becoming snake catchers...
Snakes are great examples of reptiles that seize opportunities but don't discount ducks for their strength.
A farmer and his wife were sheering their sheep at the Merciful Hearts Farm when they heard some commotion underneath the car.
They were shocked to discover a snake coiled around one of their ducks. The two were wrestling under the car. As the farmer reached in using a shepherd's crook, he dragged the duck and the black rat snake from under the car.

According to The Wild Report, "black rat snakes are some of the most beneficial animals in the natural world, and how they help both ecosystems and people." (YouTube)
