It's the worst nightmare of anyone who suffers from ophidiophobia. According to a new study, snakes are not the solitary hunters and eaters we perceive them to be. In fact, some of the slithery reptiles coordinate their missions to increase their success rate.
For the study, Vladimir Dinets, a research assistant professor of psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, observed the Cuban boa — the island nation's largest native terrestrial predator — hunting for food in bat caves.

Hm, in the above link from BBC there's nothing about packs. Nevertheless here they are already talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-FxYh6-R9U [youtube.com] . Maybe it's just the journalists putting some similar-looking video in theirs. If that's how science is made then let's do some more proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3OjfK0t1XM [youtube.com] .
P.S. Nobody should notice the prey escapes because of other "helping" snakes. Please, it's for science.
