The video above captures the rare moment when a 5½-foot snake attempts to attack a turtle. Before the snake’s attack, the turtle, frightened, quickly retracts its head into its shell for safety. Despite being angered by the turtle’s resilient shell, the snake decides to go inside the shell to attack its prey, leading to its head getting stuck. The struggle between the aggressive snake and the turtle resembles a spear against a shield. After 5 minutes of distress, the snake manages to free itself from the turtle’s shell, and the turtle swiftly flees the scene. This incident serves as a lesson for the snake, highlighting the strength and resilience of a turtle’s shell, which, though appearing tough on the outside, is a combination of ribs and spine. The turtle’s shell is thick and hard, providing effective protection against most predators.
