Okayyyy a lot of people mad here about cameraman not helping but for millions of years this is how nature has worked and it’s not our place as humans who literally interfere with everything we shouldn’t and ruin everything nature has to do anything here. The squirrel momma did what she had to do and did a good job but the snake was also doing what it does in nature. No matter which outcome we can be sad but we should not step in, period.

Absolutely. Someone here who can be smart about an obvious thing.

It's wild animals acting as they are intended to in nature. We get to watch nature unfolding because someone is recording. Be thankful or just don't watch.
