Nope. No. Noooooooooooo.。

A researcher witnessed boas in Cuba hanging from the ceiling of a cave to snag flying bats out of the air. That's terrifying enough.。

SEE ALSO:Huge rotting sea creature that washed ashore is horrifyingly turning the water red。

But he also saw them form a 。 wall of snakes 。 so the bats couldn't escape without getting within striking distance of a hanging boa.。

So yeah, just a group of snakes hunting together in a pack, nothing scary about that. (The Cuban boa, by the way, averages anywhere from eight to nearly 10 feet long.) 。

Thanks for signing up!。The three snakes observed didn't always hunt together, according to the study, published recently in 。Animal Behavior and Cognition 。

. But when they did, they almost always caught a bat -- unlike when they hunted alone, when they'd leave hungry two-thirds of the time. Teamwork, yay!。

Only a "handful" of snakes have been observed hunting in groups in the past, Vladimir Dinets, a research assistant from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who authored the study, said in a statement. And they've never been seen coordinating their efforts, he said -- which is hard to distinguish from snakes just happening to congregate in the same space while hungry. 。

The fact that they took each other's positions into account, and that their formation led to dramatically better hunts, points to coordination. 。

While that sounds scary, there's one thing worse than snakes working together to hunt bats .. 。
