If a black snake bites a baby rabbit paralyzing it, will the paralisis wear off if the snake is interrupted?

...and not permitted to suffocate the rabbit? I caught a snake in the act yeasterday but I caught it after the suffocation started and the rabbit died.If a black snake bites a baby rabbit paralyzing it, will the paralisis wear off if the snake is interrupted?
Where do you live? At least in North America, the snakes known as black snakes are non-venomous and the one most often called ';black snake';, the black racer, does not suffocate its prey. (The black rat snake does.)If a black snake bites a baby rabbit paralyzing it, will the paralisis wear off if the snake is interrupted?
Regardless of the snake species, if it's a venomous one, that wouldn't work because the venom is still in the rabbit's blood, and it would need the antivenom for that specific snake species in order to survive. But you don't need to go around trying to save rabbits from snakes; they do have to eat, after all.
The rabbit may have been near death already


or it may have died of fright


At any rate black snakes have no venom and are not able to paralyze the prey the way vipers can. They crush and suffocate their food.
it died from possibly the venom. Also could have died from frieght because bunnies have such fragile little hearts...





:( poor thing
