Encounters footage on NatGeo!

​There is a unique cave in the heart of the Yucatan peninsula, next to a little town called Kantemo. What is so unique about this cave? The snakes which decided to live inside that cave and feed exclusively on the other inhabitants - the bats.

The tropical rat snakes in the area moved into the cave and adapted entirely to the cave environment. They live inside, breed inside and of course feed inside.

Every night, when the bats fly out of the cave to feed in the forest, the hungry snakes hang upside down if the ceiling in the total darkness. They hang there motionless until an unlucky bat bumps into them...

This strange diner habit is something you can observe if you are lucky enough. The following National Geographic video was done independently of Encounters. But National Geographic found Barna after they finished fliming because they did not have good enough footage of the snakes themselves. 

This is how it happened that Barna filmed the snake footage in this NatGeo video! :)

If you want to check this place yourself, we can set you up! :)
