RE: My garden friend was killed then eaten by a hawk
Absolutely, I agree. It is an ecosystem. That hawk didn’t kill the snake just for fun, but for food.

I've seen a lot of snakes up close, deadly ones like the Eastern Brown snake here in Australia and generally they are happy to go their own way given enough space to do so. Your friend served his/her purpose by keeping you company and then providing a meal for the hawk, who in turn may have hawklings to look after. Is hawklings a word? It is now!
Unless it is a python and a human child, we are simply too big to be their food. Most of the time, we are bitten because of their self defense.
No wonder there are more than one million English words and counting every single new day :-)
I try and make up a new one every day. It's called:
Newwordling.
...And there's another!
Lol.
