The scene begins with a picture of a rattlesnake moving in a gravel-filled slot to a drier location. Suddenly, a large moccasin water snake appeared. When 2 poisonous snakes confront, the water snake moccasin suddenly hits the opponent in the head.
The rattlesnake writhed in pain before becoming the prey of the moccasin water snake.
