Amazing, yet terrifying.

I wouldn't worry too much about it ... unless the snakes start getting the tools to tear prey apart so that all can get some semblance of an equal share I don;t see this going anywhere near reality anytime soon ...

Maybe instead of hunting in a pack, they are merely spaced a certain distance apart giving the appearance of cooperative behavior.

This isn't new information. Snow Snakes are known to hunt in packs and their venom can freeze your blood.

It's hard to catch them with a camera because their camouflage is just too good.

I'm still fun...I just happen to know a great deal about wildlife (was my first job out of college).

I've never really considered reptiles as pack hunters before, is there some kind of communication involved or just the shear weight of numbers that make them a more successful hunter when in a pack? Either way, I wouldn't want to be on a plane with them

I don't think its much of a pack strategy, much more of a mob mentality  ... not unlike a lynching mob with an appetite for a feeding free for all ...

Racer snakes chase baby iguanas en mass on beaches but whether they are hunting as a pack or just each snake out for what it can get for itself is not clear.
