The video aƄoʋe captures the rare movement as a 5½-long ʋoʋoυs tries to attack a turtle. Before the army’s attack, the turtle was extremely scared and quickly retracted its beak into its shell to be safe.
Vex speakers have the ability to defeat all prey and have few species in the wild, while turtles are known for fighting, shy and protected with a tough shell. So the fight between the aggressors and the turtle resembles a spear against a shield.
The fact that the head was stuck in the turtle’s shell caused the snake to suffer pain and panic. It moved its tail frantically to get out, but still missed.
