ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – Two Florida deputies helped a hawk escape the clutches of a snake on Sunday.
In body camera footage released by the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Dasher and Deputy Forero responded to a report of an injured hawk in the roadway. When they got closer, they realized the red-shouldered hawk had a snake coiled around its neck and wing.
“He’s wrapped up pretty good,” one said.
The hawk likely snatched the snake out of a nearby yard for lunch, but the racer had other plans.
“Good job, buddy!” a deputy said after freeing the hawk. “Everybody wins.”
