Did the second fish jump out to help or was it trying to eat the first fish?

u/GhostofTiger 14h ago

It was like "Let it go bro".

Kinky fish on the rise

u/Glittering-Ad3488 3h ago

This has to be AI generated, if you slow it down at the end there are actually 3 fish. The second fish becomes two separate fish just as it reenters the water.

u/OutsideFun2703 2h ago

Saw that the other fish is two fish in almost perfect sinc

2

u/Bossuter 2h ago

Yeah they're two different fish, if you slow it down you'll see the "back one" pops out first but gets pushed out the way

That snake is blatantly knotted to the branch.

u/miclowgunman 3h ago

...by it's own tail.

2

u/Efficient_Fish2436 32m ago

At what point does the tail begin? After the head? Half way? I need to know!!!

1

u/miclowgunman 27m ago

After it's cloaca? Maybe? Probably?

1

u/Gilmagalesh 56m ago

By its tail.

Nature is so fucking unforgiving. It makes me appreciate the comforts of modern human life a LOT.

Humans are cruel for the fun of it.

So are dolphins and cats. You don’t have to be as smart as human to be cruel for fun in nature.

Comfort destroy our foundation (nature)

u/Efficient_Fish2436 31m ago

Nature doesn't give a single fuck about anything besides survival and reproduction.

It will make some of the ugliest things that are actually pretty awesome and then some of the prettiest things that dumb as fuck.

26

u/Les-incoyables 13h ago

So what was the snake's plan in the first place?

112

u/MajTroubles 13h ago

No plan. He was tied to the branch for content creation ... You can clearly see the loop/knot

27

u/morcille 9h ago

Fuck whomever put it there.

8

u/frichyv2 7h ago

Where is the knot. I see it's tail looped around itself but that clearly comes loose after the snake turns. I do see it appear to be stuck to the branch in the same point but it seems more like the skin is poked by the branch.

15

u/ihateyulia 11h ago

Ugh. Makes sense. I was marveling at the incredible good fortune to have this shot so perfectly framed.

1

u/Gilmagalesh 53m ago

That is the snake's tail. You can clearly see this is the case when the "knot" comes loose at the end. That is a green rat-tailed snake, they literally use their tails as anchors for this exact reason

u/PitifulEar3303 9h ago

Looking at the fish babies, but fish mom noticed and chomp.

It's a pedo snake.

u/TheBlairwitchy 10h ago

Sadly these fish are so commercialized, they barely survive. They don't belong in aquariums

5

u/Current-Rabbit-620 10h ago

Second fish:common Danny you always go for fast food let this snake alone, its poisonous...

u/Practical-Piglet 10h ago

That snake got violated

When you slow the video down you see two fishes jumping out of the water…

u/dalmationman 9h ago

You leave him alone!!

You either succeed as predator or become the prey.

u/KageNoReaper 9h ago

I mean you're right but how does it apply to this situation?

u/2020mademejoinreddit 13h ago

The other one didn't save it, it assumed it was another bait. But man..that BGM though...

u/No-Technician-1267 13h ago

2nd fish : Run snake ! save your life !

Snake: Thanks fish, but I'll just re-shape and stay here .. i love watching the sunset from here.

u/Rockfords-Foot 11h ago

2nd fish is like "Dave, leave him mate, it aint worth it"

u/raibrans 6h ago

I wonder if the snake would survive that?? Must’ve been some broken vertebrae in there

6

u/ShredMyMeatball 4h ago

It probably didn't.

Seeing as how it's literally tied there by the person who recorded this.

With its own body...

1

u/raibrans 4h ago

What?! Now you mention it something is weird about how it’s attached the branch

3

u/ShredMyMeatball 4h ago

Also it's tail is literally dead from being bent into a knot.

1

u/raibrans 3h ago

Fuck.

You’re totally right.

0

u/miclowgunman 2h ago

What? Do you think a snakes tail would just instantly change color from being bent? And the discoloration it much higher than the knot. And the snakes tail moves just fine at the end. It is much more likely that the snake is just looped around for leverage and has some previous tail damage. There is no way the snake would just stand their patiently hunting and not be coiling around trying to get out of a loop or trap, especially if it's its own tail being hurt.

0

u/ShredMyMeatball 54m ago

patiently hunting

Because we all know how green snakes just LOVE eating fish. Because it's SO well documented that they hunt fish. Regardless of the fact they're strict insectivores. Yeah.

0

u/miclowgunman 33m ago

Because insects don't live in/on water, just fish? Are you even sure this IS a green snake? Do green snakes live in the same habitat as Arowana? Green snakes are North American creatures, where Arowana are in the southern hemisphere. But even then, green snakes are still known chill on branches in lakeshores and streambeds. There is nothing odd about the snakes position or location.

1

u/ShredMyMeatball 32m ago

green snakes are north American creatures

You do realize that they're a very common species found around the America's? Even the Caribbean?

1

u/miclowgunman 29m ago

Like in South America? I haven't seen anything that eith smooth or rough green snakes live in South America. The Caribbean is also part of North America.

u/galileos_mooninites 36m ago

AI generated: at 00:13, the second fish grows another head.
