Hawks

The next snake predators that eat snakes that we want to introduce to you are the hawk. There are more than 200 species of hawks around the world, and there are an estimated 30 to 50 species of snake-eating hawks, and about 10 of them are exclusively snake-eaters. All known hawks are extremely sharp visionaries. They have five to six times better eyesight than humans, allowing them to see with the highest precision.

Their eyes are forward, which gives them excellent binocular vision. The hawk can accurately observe its prey from the smallest snakes from above while in flight. The reflexes of the hawks are very active and they attack very quickly and grab the snakes before it even realizes what has happened. They will only eat light snakes of medium to a small size that they can easily grab and fly.

Hawks have extremely sharp and muscular claws, and they are also commonly used to grip snakes. Small-sized snakes can be killed with a surprise attack using claws. The hawk's beak is very strong and has a hook. The beak is used by them to kill snakes by directly biting the snake's neck and using the beak to break the snake neck. Such attacks to break the neck are mostly seen if the snake is venomous. Others, snakes that don't die so easily, will soon suffocate when gripped by a hawk.
