ָAct 3: Owl vs Anaconda - a photo on Flickriver

            For the entire seq scroll back to the first series of the burrowing owl. 

As the sun was setting, the Owls discovered the advancing snake. They hovered over, and then posted guard. shockingly, the snake reacted by coiling up and covering its head: according to the locals, the Owl wedging a few ounces was a greater threat to the large Anaconda than the snake was to it when the dual was in the open. The owl would attack the head repeatedly until the snake injuries would be irreversible. To protect it the snake was returned to the pond.

if the snake can get to the burrow undetected, the odds are now in its favor.
