Hedgehog

For many people, it is difficult to imagine a creature as small as a hedgehog hunting snakes. However, that is part of reality in nature. Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals, which means they do all their foraging at night. Almost all encounters between snakes and hedgehogs take place after nightfall.

The snake predators that eat snakes like porcupines are very clever at killing snakes, they begin their hunt by finding a snake and provoking it until the snake is angry enough to attack and defend itself. When allowed to attack, the hedgehog bit the snake from its neck a few times. The final blow hits the snake when its vertebrae are completely crushed. When fighting snakes, hedgehogs follow a special strategy called "bite and hide". Their efforts soon paid off. Whole meals can go on for several hours as their teeth get used to insects and smaller animals. A hedgehog will not consume the whole snake.

Although hedgehogs are immune to most snake poisons, they stand no chance of winning the war against king cobras. In addition, hedgehogs can easily attack small poisonous animals and kill them without being injured or affected by their poison. This unusual strength makes hedgehogs one of the more ruthless and specialized predators in the wild.
