Snake swallowed crocodile at Australian lake

A snake has won a lengthy battle with a crocodile in northern Queensland, wrestling it, constricting it and then finally eating it.





The incident at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, was captured on camera by local residents on Sunday.





The 10-ft snake, thought to be a python, coiled itself around the crocodile and the two struggled in the water. The snake later brought the dead crocodile onto land and ate it.

Alyce Rosenthal, told local media that the two creatures fought for about five hours. By the end, they appeared exhausted, she said.
"It's not something that you see every day," she said.

Many thanks Sharyn!
