The small clip shows the woodpecker attacking something in its nest, and just in a few seconds you will realise it's a snake. The snake and the woodpecker get into a duel in which the reptile manages to get hold of the bird twice.
All the forces on this planet, will never beat that of a mothers love.

In another case of animals expressing motherly love. Sometime ago, a baby elephant was rescued by a group of people using a mechanical digger and the mother thanked the people in her own way.
Best you will watch today. An #elephant calf fell into a ditch which was rescued. And see how mother stopped to thank the people. This is typical behaviour, elephants first try to rescue by their own, then leave space & stand far for getting help from Human. Via WA so quality. pic.twitter.com/rPx1EN9UIB

The video of the woodpecker is indeed a testament to a mother¡¯s love and resilience.
