California Kingsnake's Gopher Snake Meal

Laguna Coast Wilderness Park's Office Tech discovered this scene as he walked outside the Nix Nature Center.  None of the staff had ever seen one snake hunting and subduing another.  The California Kingsnake is known for its ability to hunt and eat even rattlesnakes.
