With a break between customers, a shopkeeper in India checked his cellphone and took a seat up on the counter, but he wasn’t there for long.
The shopkeeper looked up in the corner of his tiny confectionary shop in Madhya Pradesh and noticed what South West News Service reported as a “killer” snake chasing a rat.
Footage from a surveillance camera shows the shopkeeper making a hasty exit, and moments later the snake can be seen chasing its prey all over the place, and with remarkable speed.
Apparently, the snake wasn’t quick enough, as it can be seen “aggressively checking gaps in the shop shelves in a bid to find the escaped rat,” SWNS reported of the incident, which occurred Monday.
The snake checked everywhere. It even took a peek out the door. Eventually, it disappeared between the shelves as the footage ends.

SWNS reported that the snake was said to have made its way out of the shop, presumably still hungry.
It is not known what type of “killer” snake it was.
