The Guadalupe National Park posted this archive picture, taken by Park Ranger W. Leggette on their Facebook page which immediately went viral. The picture was tagged with the post below:
"Don’t Mess with Texas Squirrels! Rock squirrels eat mostly plant material, fruits, and nuts, but don’t let their humble appearance fool you.
They will also eat bird eggs, lizards, and snakes. This photo is from the vault (NPS Photo/W. Leggett). Ranger William heard a racket outside the Frijole Ranch and then recorded the entire epic battle.
The squirrel devoured most of the snake, bones and all, down to the last two inches."

What a bloody meal!
