Did another trail camera photo dump from the @desertphotoretreat Always fun to see what animals share the water hole. I knew a rattle snake was hanging around since I found a shedded skin a couple of week earlier. However, a snake has never shown up in the camera – probably because they are cold blooded. The reason this one showed was thanks to the gray fox.
You can see they interacted for a few minutes. At one point the snake curled up and raised its head while facing the fox. Ultimately it appears they were both just after a drink and in the last photo you can see the fox had no interest in the snake.
