Well that depends if the heron snapped or dislocated the snakes spine. If so, where..is it's anywhere below the bowels/poop shoot (cannot remember anatomical name for it) the some snakes can detach that area and live onwards. If it's above that area then the snake is doomed.
Have a closer look at the pic. The snakes jaw or mouth seems to be stuck in the beak and is bleeding. It’s quit possible this snakes jaw/mouth is in fact broken or at least damaged to some extent.
There's actually a Chinese fable about a snipe that tried to eat a clam. The clam clamped the snipe's beak shut and neither would let go. A fisherman came across them and got an easy meal.
It's used to warn against conflicts because it could lead to a lose-lose situation and just benefit a third party.
Yep, and other languages, like German, don't make a traditional distinction between the herons and the white herons, which makes sense since many are in the same genera. In German the grey heron is the Graureiher (grey heron) and the great egret is the Silberreiher (silver heron).
Okay, now what? - snek and heron, probably.
"It seems we are at an impasse"
And now we play the waiting game
Heron proceeds to dunk its beak into water and wait….
He just has to wait till the bird passes out from exhaustion, and he can escape.
It's already screwed
As per the original reddit post, the snake actually survived
Erm

Sweet, the original text said the bird gave up and let it go after 20 min, snake won!
Well, the bird lost. The snake could still be fatally wounded.
True, but as long as the jaw of the snake isn’t broken, it can still survive quite a lot

His friends all cracking up in the background..

This feels like one of aesops fables

"Ha! You can't hurt a heron my head!"
"I bet you r-egret your snack choice now."
*Dad-Snake
So now they both battle starvation till one of them is defeated
So, like Toad, Green Snake also never gives up?
Snake be like "he he, Got your nose"
Mutually assured destruction.
Checkmate
Am I a joke to you?
Thats an egret, not a heron.
It is a heron, egrets are in the heron family (Ardeidae). Therefore, all egrets are herons, but not all herons are egrets
Ok, but a "great white heron" is an entirely different bird from the one depicted here.
You're correct there, I didnt reread the title to see they had give the species
Okay, but here’s the thing….

Fox and the pike story
Well the bird will die of thirst/starvation if the green noodle has the stamina to tough it out a few days, no?
Checkmate.
The Standoff
Reminds me of that picture of a crab holding a gator's jaw closed with its claw
Bird: If I open my mouth, I will eat you. Snake: If
i bet all whit high calculus

Which animal will tire first? (Mammals usually outlast reptiles.)
Aws that jaw. Poor little danger noodle. Bold attempt but hopeless in the end.
