Florida wildlife has proven yet again just how wild it can be after a woman shared video of a venomous coral snake eating another snake while it was being attacked by a yellow jacket wasp. A wasp then landed on the coral snake and moments later the reptile began to thrash about wildly to shoo away the wasp. It was unclear whether the wasp had stung the coral snake to make it whip about. !”Natalie Claunch, a doctoral student at the university, replied that while coral snakes aren’t great climbers, the free meal acted as good motivation. The eastern coral snake, also known as Micrurus fulvius, eats lizards, frogs and smaller snakes, including other coral snakes, according to National Geographic.
