Mutual mortality of Great Horned Owl and Southern Black Racer: A potential risk of raptors preying on snakes

Perry et al encountered a dead southern black racer snake coiled around a dead Great Horned Owl. They suggest that the owl was strangled by the snake before the snake died of wounds inflicted by the owl. This is the first documented report of mutual mortality between a Great Horned Owl and a snake.
