A kangaroo rat and a big rattlesnake were caught on the news. The camera panned over to this big rattlesnake about to strike. A little kangaroo rat came out of his burrow, and upon seeing the snake, he jumped nine feet in the air. (They can do that because they have long hind legs.) On the way up, the little fellow kicked the snake in the head like a judo fighter would.
Fortunately he got away from the snake. His move saved his life.
