(Video) Viper vs. Viper! This Never-Before-Seen Battle is Epic!

snakes

Nobody wants to be at the receiving end of a viper's bite. These venomous snakes, no matter the species, can leave you either dead or wishing for death, and what makes them so deadly is their general aggressiveness.

It would seem, though, that the aggressiveness displayed by these snakes is not only directed at humans but is also exercised on fellow serpents.

When a rival snake gets into a viper's territory, the two will fight without mercy until one concedes or dies at the mercy of the other snake.

So what would a fight like this look like? Well, it just so happens that an outdoor enthusiast happened to have a camera when a fight broke out between a cottonmouth and a copperhead.

How does the fight end? Check out the video on the following page to find out.

    it can be hard to interpret the behavior unless you spend time observing the animals……if you still have it, the copperhead and timber rattlesnake display is a good place to observe courting and combat behavior

    2 males display “fighting” over a female. (100% sure)That may be a melanistic copperhead, not a moccasin. (50-50)

    It is a fight, it is not mating, as said last time this came out they are competing for hunting rites. Bunch of city folks, an even some country folk that should know better, I guess ignert is an excuse.roflmao

    If they were fighting, one would be eating the other less than two minutes into the video.

    They aren’t mating. They are competing for a female in the area. This ritual doesn’t involve fighting, just establishing dominance over the “weaker” of the two.

    These two closely related species cross breed. They weren’t fighting. They were making the unspeakable “beast with two backs” .

    Copperhead has the reach but the cottonmouth has the mass. That’s a pretty big copperhead, usually they’re smaller

    That’s as fake as a 3 dollar bill. Copperhead’s don’t get over about 3 feet long ( and that’s a huge one ) that snake was 5 to 6 foot. And that was a big$#%&!@*cottonmouth too.

    Maybe it’s a small cottonmouth, no? Can’t really tell the size by the video. Not sure how you could take a video like that. A picture, maybe. A video, no.
