A kingfisher swoops into the water intending to prey on a snake, but is entangled by the snake's neck and dragged into the water. Kingfisher struggled desperately and finally escaped at the last minute. Nature has really staged a good drama of "stealing chickens and not eroding rice".

According to the British "Daily Mail", photographer Nitin Jain (Nitin Jain) recently captured a group of shocking photos of kingfishers and snakes fighting in the western Indian city of Pune. Jain said that when a kingfisher swooped into the water to prey on a snake, it was entangled in the neck and dragged into the water. Kingfisher struggled desperately and finally escaped at the last minute.

After escaping, the terrified kingfisher seemed to have not recovered from the battle of life and death just now, and stayed motionless on the branch for more than 2 hours before flying away.

Don't underestimate this little kingfisher, this thing can catch snakes, there was such a news some time ago, a little kingfisher after dozens of minutes of fierce battle with a snake, finally like a victor, standing on the top of the tree to enjoy his own meal, and this delicious meal is the snake that has just fought with the little kingfisher. But today, I don't know if I didn't sleep well the day before yesterday, and I was almost caught by a snake, and I really staged a good show of "stealing chickens and not eroding rice".

It has to be said that the white-bellied kingfisher is mainly distributed in India, and because this type of bird often lives in areas with abundant water sources, it feeds near water sources. However, the white-bellied kingfisher inhabits plain areas and has open fields, but reptiles such as snakes are most likely to appear.

Kingfishers range from Africa to South Asia and East Asia to Australia, with a rare occurrence in the Americas. Common kingfishers are found in Europe and northern Asia.

Both aquatic or forest-dwelling. Aquatic dwellers often rest upright on low branches or rocks near the water, waiting for opportunities to prey on fish and shrimp. It is distributed in Australia and New Guinea, with the Australian kingfisher being the largest kingfisher and feeding on snakes and lizards. It is generally nested in earthen cliffs. Males and females incubate their eggs together, but only the females feed their chicks.
