The universe is a wondrous place. There are several mysteries surrounding nature. Some say a Supreme Being (God) created nature while others insist that the world evolved from superhot plasma into stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters according to the laws of physics.

However, none of these answers satisfies anyone in their senses. Nature is beyond our comprehension and this viral video of a deer eating a snake is a glaring example.

A video of a carnivore animal eating a snake has raised eyebrows on social media with the comment section filled with a series of shocking reactions. IFS Susanta Nanda, known for sharing adorable videos of wild animals took to his Twitter handle and shared the never-seen-before video.

“Cameras are helping us understand nature better. Yes. Herbivorous animals do eat snakes at times,” he wrote after sharing the video. In the video, we can see a deer chewing a snake and reason fails us in this regard.

Since being shared online, the video has garnered over 51.5K views. Netizens came up with several explanations for the video, but the clip proves that the more we delve deeper to understand nature, the more mysterious it becomes.

Trying to make sense, a user wrote, “Herbivores can eat meat. Carnivores cannot eat grass. It's based on gut chemistry. Eating snakes is more about survival than a diet. It makes sense to eat snakes that hide in the grass to kill them. Meat is fine if easily available, but hunting isn't what their bodies are evolved for.”

“Nature is full of incredible and sometimes unexpected interactions, and this video showcases one such instance. It serves as a reminder of the vast diversity of animal behavior and the unique ways in which different species adapt to survive,” commented another user.

A user hilariously wrote, “I think it’s a Chinese deer. Wahan pe log kuch bhi khate hain.”
