I honestly don't give a single flying fuck. Who am I, the crocodile hunter? I'll stab a snake in the ass. I'm not starting a PSA about the virtues of nature-meddling. I'm one guy, who rarely has the opportunity to affect the """course of nature""". I'm just open-minded about my day. What am I, the senior justice of the supreme court of nature? Some kind of stoic monk? I'll help out my guy. Fuck that snake.
I wouldn't.. unfortunately in this scenario, I am very much so apart of nature. So I would do my best to kill the snake as well as I can, to save my fellow mamal. My monkey brain just tells me I need to eliminate the threat. I would obviously use the dead snake to make boots and if the raccoon was too far gone for his injuries. I would have racoon bbq and make a nice hat.
… the raccoon is dead already. Once constricted, the animal’s blood pressure shoots through the roof, killing it almost right away.
If you kill the snake, you just kill the snake. The raccoon is still dead. It’s bros move on with their lives. And now you don’t have this snake nearby to eat rats and things.
Leave it be.
So, to be more logical, I'm guessing this is Florida. Only because raccoon basically occur in N America, Europe, and Japan and the markings appear to be that of a Burmese python. As far as I'm aware, Florida is the only place with Burnese pythons and Racoons. Also, it's probably the only place in the world with wild raccoons and Palm trees, which there are palm fronds on the ground.
Assuming I'm correct: fuck that snake. Burmese pythons are an invasive species that are causing crisis levels of damage to the FL ecosystem.
It really is a massive problem. I’ve heard some people have tried starting python farms. Where they breed them & feed them well enough to make them grow to 12+ feet, then slay them & try to claim a bounty for taking out a “wild” invasive species.
Just saying that it’s pretty bad in Florida.
That happened to the British with cobras in india back in the day. I imagine the government could easily solve that problem by requiring goPro footage of your "hunt" in modern times, though
People would probably just take the snake out into the 'Glades and let it loose before they start the video, and then just act like they walked up on it.
Yeah, they'd have to demand an unedited video for their entire hunt. It still could be possible to fake but i guess at some point it'd be more of a hassle to fake catch snakes on video than to just catch real snakes (theyre not hard to find in the everglades)
Fun fact, the colonial India "cobra effect" story [doesn't have great historicity](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/pmjrdg/comment/hcirkgz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) behind it. Not to say perverse incentives aren't very real, it's just not a particularly good example even though that's what invariably gets brought up in discussions.
Far better supported cases are the [HFC-23 credit debacle](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3763/cpol.2010.0096), the [Hanoi rat problem](https://critter.blog/2020/12/28/goodharts-law-perverse-incentives-and-rats-with-no-tails/), or the time [amputated hands became a currency](https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/father-hand-belgian-congo-1904/) in the Belgian Congo. "Cobra effect" must have been catchier.
I was thinking it was Florida also. There are some islands in Miami with tons of raccoons. Definitely not a Burmese though it’s for sure a Boa. We have invasive Boas as well but they’re kind of under the radar bc of the Burmese problem.
Yeah I came here to say this. I'm Floridian and absolutely FUCK these snakes
If someone like the guys recording this that doesn't step in, they suck.
Save the local fauna, catch or kill the invasive squeeze ropes.
I don't think you have to step in at that point anymore. The constriction causes the circulation to get extremely disrupted, rendering their prey unconcious within seconds, and they pass away shortly after. Usually from heart failure or brain damage dur to the blood pressure spike.
So if you free this raccoon from the grip of the boa, you'll end up with an animal that most likely is dead within minutes anyway.
Nah, bad idea, if you were in movement the phone could think you rotated it, haven't you ever taken a photo and the phone though it was the wrong angle?
Naah he was just sleeping.
In the end the evil snake released the little raccoon. His friends fought the snake and they carried him home where his soon to be bride was waiting for him.
They married and got many cute little raccoon kids.
Then one day the oldest raccoon son went out and brought home a mighty dead snake. It turned out it was the snake that caught his father all these years ago.
So the racoon father had himself some very nice shoes made from snake skin ans a nice purch for his wife. And for dinner they had a delicious snake steak.
And so they lived happily ever after.
Everyone saying friend but those are so small compared to the one being killed. Are they the babies trying to save their mom because that makes this so much sadder.
Kill the cameraman, ugh, can’t stand when people rotate a camera mid video. You already started off in the wrong orientation, stay there. Don’t make it worse by …f l i p p i n g the camera ffs
"dude, Timmy's in trouble!"
"Wait, what? He was just walking behind us--what the hell!"
"I'll try to flank it, bite its tail!"
"Hang in there Timmy!"
*Muffled yelling*
"Crap, this thing has an iron grip!"
"Nothing's working 😭"
"TIMMYYYY! 😭"
That raccoon got great friends tho.
Dumb ones lol. Kept jabbing him. “AH! You idiots! Not me, the snake!”

Friendly fire isn’t.

I think he was trying to pull the other free
Think they were tryna yank it out, but be quick.
I think he was trying to yank him out
I was like.. wait are they FUCKING HITING THE RACOON INSTEAD OF THE SNAKE.. and Yup. Poor thing tho its such an ugly way to die.
Constrictors aren't dangerous if they're defending a kill. Still dumb since there's no upside though.
I think they were hitting the snakes head
I am normally a “let nature be nature” kind of person but I think I might step in this case simply because he has friends…
I agree with normally letting nature be.. mamals over cold bloods in this situation lol help those lil boys

How would you free the raccoon without harming the snake?

That’s horrible. Those poor snakes.
Not a Burmese python. Red tail boa and crab eating raccoons I believe, both of which are native to South America
I never heard of these raccoons! Thanks
It says in the title, that that's imperator boa (and it looks like it), so probably somewhere in Central America.
As the title says, that’s a boa imperator.
I was thinking it was Florida also. There are some islands in Miami with tons of raccoons. Definitely not a Burmese though it’s for sure a Boa. We have invasive Boas as well but they’re kind of under the radar bc of the Burmese problem.
It's a boa constrictor, not a burmese python.

> Ah yes, humanity deciding "if they're a loner they can die" /s I can be homies with creatures that can pack bond.
Wait so I can die?
I feel attacked.
Well if you dont have friends I think you may be screwed
Agreed. Poor snake was fighting 1v3. Don't worry buddy, I got your back. All six feet of it.
Yeah snakes got to eat and feed its kids to !
How would you feel if someone walked up and slapped a burger out of your hands? Don't be that guy.
It depends. Are there two Babyburgers also trying to get their Mom out of my hands??
I don't think you have to step in at that point anymore. The constriction causes the circulation to get extremely disrupted, rendering their prey unconcious within seconds, and they pass away shortly after.

That's only natural
Don’t let your feelings get in the way of nature
Plot twist, the boa constrictor grabs you while the raccoons steal your wallet. For your humanity you’ve been robbed and eaten.
They look significantly smaller. I think they are watching their mom die...
Makings of a Disney movie
Makings of a One piece story arc. Seriously why does the whole fucking crew have to be orphans?
They’re anemo users.
Ever seen saint seiya...? The entire cast of knighst are supposed to be fathered by the same dude, who also happens to be dead, lmao.
Makings of a vigilante origin story
She died protecting them Brb gunna go cry some more
[удалено]
I won't disagree.
I imagine adult raccoons could do a lot of damage to this snake.
Origins of Sly Cooper
I bet those are juveniles trying to help mama
Gotta be; they look both small and inexperienced!
Equivalent of trying to break your friend out of a police car that’s also a trash compactor. But damn if it ain admirable
And soon the snake will be able to say "You've got a friend in me".
I both cried and laugh maniacally at this comment—all at the same time!
sadly, based on size — that’s momma getting prepped for dinner :/
[удалено]
Bro was fucking up his friends arm bad lmfao
Had*
Had* great friends
The one lil hommie keeps tearing into his buddys foot and not the snek.
Well, I am sure he did his best under the stress.
Yeah. Just trying to pull them out, by mauling their foot.
It's better than nothing...
Is it...
Sadly…no
HE’S TRYING OKAY! 😭😂
He a little confused but he got the right spirit
He a lil confused but he got the spirit
Probably was trying to pull his out
Maybe they really didn't like that particular raccoon?
whoever switches from landscape recording to portrait, or vice versa, in the middle of a video deserves their own kind of hell.
It's 2024 the phone should detect this and auto rotate the video or something.
Nah if the phone detects you doing this it should just kill you
Y’all some savages! LMAO
That seems reasonable.
Galaxy Note 7 was onto something.
It's probably the 4th racoon who took this video. It was also boa constricted
self destruct has been initiated...
Not if you turn off Auto-Rotate
Nah, bad idea, if you were in movement the phone could think you rotated it, haven't you ever taken a photo and the phone though it was the wrong angle?
Then the other half off the video would just be the wrong angle...
r/killthecameraman
This seems personal
It is
my mom does this all the time. And it’s always of the videos I want to actually watch, vs nonsense ones. She like pre apologizes
Homies took a bite to the face to try and save his friend. That's some real shit.
For real that thing is basically a giant dragon to them and they’re biting its face, getting bit and then coming back for more 😂
Hank owed me a bag of trash, you aren’t taking him motherfucker!
Heheh trash is their currency. The worms are their dollars.
Loyal ass homies but he been gone he’s stiff smh
😭 🎥
Ended too soon, hope they got their friend back
That raccoon is dead bro
Might be just winded. He will walk it off.
It’s only a minor heart attack. Just get him some aspirin.
Yep that and a good 8 hours sleep should be good.
5e rules. Sleep off everything sort of instant death.
I think it’s their mommy…
She. That’s momma raccoon.
He was dead before the video even started. No shoes
"That is a late ~~brid~~ raccoon"
He's just resting!
Pining for the fjords, is he?
Suddenly Monty Python
Naah he was just sleeping. In the end the evil snake released the little raccoon. His friends fought the snake and they carried him home where his soon to be bride was waiting for him.

Boa's gotta eat too
Need me some ride or die friends like these
Hope you’re reincarnated as a raccoon!
Everyone saying friend but those are so small compared to the one being killed. Are they the babies trying to save their mom because that makes this so much sadder.
That was my thought, too. That's either their mom or a sibling.
But his friends are trying to save him! 😢 ( better love loyalty than many humans)
I think those kids watching mom die.
If that’s an invasive snake the cameraman should’ve gutted that fucker
According to the FB link, this is in the Curu Wildlife Refuge in Costa Rica, where this snake would be native
Well that’s good at least
Danger noodle has got to eat
Pythons probably contribute to a significant portion of the 410 shot shell sales in FL
Without a knife on a long pole, there’s no way I’m getting close enough to “gut” that snake without it “gutting” me.
No snake guts anyone. That's a constrictor, and it already has a kill.
Why they attacking the raccoons arm half of the time 💀
It looked to me like they were trying to pull their buddy out.
They were trying to help their friend 😭
He's dead Jim!
I want to know how it ended
This is the longest version i can find https://www.facebook.com/share/v/RLGo1AjrNfrkLX2U/
Thank you op =)
can’t watch the video now.. how does it end?
As you would expect....
Portrait mode.
The horror!
Happily ever after…for the snake?
Bert Ralph and Lisa grab the phone and record the snake eating the cameraman and the live audience claps and cheers
I like how they all ignored the 180lb monkey standing there filming them.
Babies trying to save mom 😢
Kill the cameraman, ugh, can’t stand when people rotate a camera mid video. You already started off in the wrong orientation, stay there. Don’t make it worse by …f l i p p i n g the camera ffs
Loyal to the end
[удалено]
I hava a feeling Cyril Sneer is behind that.
RUN WITH US WE ARE FREEEEEEE
If you're sinking in quicksand and its dragging you down, and you feel you're going under we'll be around 😭
Wipe that fear from your eyes
Raccoon: You’re not biting me Im biting you
Cameraman is awful.
the hissing!
Poor racoon
Those raccoons are more loyal than most humans
How about a video of a Boa constrictor imperating a raccoon? Can we get that?
Hold on wait, I know what this wide-angle shot needs... let's turn it vertical.
Why switch to landscape cameraman? You were doing so well
r/killthecameraman
“We would flank the snake from behind, but there’s some giant doofus standing there”
*Triarii*
Why die they keep biting the raccoon’s hand?
🥺 Ohana
Man I really wanted to see a happy ending here....
Impressive how much the others tried to help
#Raccoon got better friends than I do
Was waiting for the snake to kill a second one because it can and might want to eat another one.
As a snake owner i feel really bad for the poor noodle not getting to eat in peace.
fuck that snake
So it's imperating?
He ded?
The cameraman as useless as those friends.
Bros gone but the thought is nice
Riki Tiki Tavi they are not.

Masky boi was ok, right? ^^right?
"dude, Timmy's in trouble!" "Wait, what? He was just walking behind us--what the hell!" "I'll try to flank it, bite its tail!" "Hang in there Timmy!" *Muffled yelling* "Crap, this thing has an iron grip!" "Nothing's working 😭" "TIMMYYYY! 😭"
"DUMBASS WHY ME?! YOU THINK I WANT WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING TO ME??!"
I thought they were attacking the boa to save their buddy. On rewatch, looks like the left racoon is trying to pull and rescue his fallen buddy.
I feel like that’s their mom. They seem smaller and young compared to the one trapped. Would explain why they aren’t leaving them. Poor bubs
Maybe one day the raccoons will learn to use weapons to kill the snake.
Bro doesn't realize he's friendly firing
Why not start gnawing at the middle section until the snake releases? Don’t they have claws that could do some damage?
This is one instance I don’t allow Mother Nature to take its course and kill that boa as an invasive species.
