It has been seen in nature that the bigger animal often dominates the smaller ones, but sometimes things turn out differently. There have been several occasions when animals have shown courage and managed to fight back against more terrifying and vicious adversaries.

A video from Odisha shows a similar situation where a three-foot-long trinket snake can be seen taking on a rat snake almost twice its size. Animal rescue volunteers were shocked to see the little snake wrapped around the five-foot snake trying to kill it.

They were advised to separate them as the trinket snake would have been unable to swallow the other one bigger than it even if it managed to kill the serpent. They were disengaged and released in their habitats.
