Wow that's pretty interesting as I never knew that those hogs took out snakes like that. Then again they are pretty nasty and aggressive too if you've ever happened to stumble across one in the wild best to stay well clear of them as they can be very unpredictable. However, that said those hogs are darn good eating albeit a challenge to hunt... so get rid of the snakes and have fresh bacon at the same time, win win! I really hate snakes! Smoked wild boar, YUMMY!
