A snake has eaten a crocodile in an epic duel that shocked onlookers at a Queensland lake.

The whopper snake took on the croc at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, on Sunday, and the contest and its surprising result was captured on camera.

By the time Ms Corlis started watching, the snake had already coiled its body around the crocodile and was beginning to strangle it.

"[The crocodile] was fighting at the start, so it was trying to keep its head out of water and survive," she told ABC North West Queensland Radio on Monday.

"But as the morning sort of progressed, you could tell that both of them were getting a little weaker.

Another witness, Alyce Rosenthal, told Fairfax Media that the battle probably lasted about five hours. By the time she arrived, the two combatants were at the point of exhaustion.

"They were just pretty much laying there, waiting to die I would assume," she said on Tuesday.

"It’s not something that you see every day.

"The aftermath showed the overstuffed snake lying still, where presumably it stayed for some time as it digested its dinner.

"When you actually looked at the snake, you could actually see the crocodile’s ridges, legs and everything inside its belly."

lol

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

What kind of a snake is that? Looks way too huge.

 

[jb1234]

Two of my worst fears, one digesting the other. Splendid.

 

[RM8]

Snakes are jerks. But so are crocodiles, to be fair.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Snake was damn starving. Wonder if the croc will digest at all or just rip the snake's stomach.

Qbert Eats Puck-Man, I like.

 

[Neuromancer]

It wasn't a full size crocodile, the caller said it was 70cm (28inches). Still pretty crazy though.

 

[HoosTrax]

Was expecting Burmese Python, which Florida is now infested with.

 

[Opto]

That snake must feel like when you eat an entire pizza

 

[Alcotholic]

Holy shit. I think an elephant may be next.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

That's kind of amazing.

 

[CountBlack]

Thought the crocodile would've put up a better fight.

I guess it's not the snake in the fight, its the fight in the snake.

 

[Red_Man]

That's pretty fucked.

 

[rocketskates]

Ho-ly.

Fuck.

 

[Tesseract]

man imagine being eaten alive like that, FUCKING NOPES.

 

[Austriacus]

Meh, giant anacondas do this on a daily basis in the amazon, they are wider afterall. This one is gona burst.

 

[nailbombxx]

Man you really gotta control your portions.

 

[SmithnCo]

Mmm, tasty.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Surely these things can't just digest an armor-plated crocodile.

 

[CurlySaysX]

I guess you could say that crocodile is now luggage.

 

[Plywood]

Someone should've tried pulling the croc out.

Well this really should have been a G/A/F thread, but i still guessed Australia before entering.

 

[BolognaOni]

Surely these things can't just digest an armor-plated crocodile.

I think some researcher tried it with small Burmese pythons and baby alligators, and they had no problems with it.

They can, but it is gona be 6 months till she does.

 

[Hurley]

The thought of the snakes bottom jaw being permanently like that makes me lol

Goofy looking mother fucker.

 

[Replicant]

I live in this country. 0_0

 

[JupitersClock]

Was thinking the same thing, unless i'm mistaken I don't recall ever learning or hearing about Oz having any large snakes. Well large enough to swallow a croc at least.


King browns and Red belly blacks? Let me get the shovel.

 

[Tesseract]

what would y'all do if an anaconda ate you whole?

 

[Hurley]

Fucking Queensland man.

Shit like this makes me want to move to another state.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

They can, but it is gona be 6 months till she does.

That's going to be one murderous dump someday.

 

[Finaika]

RIP Crocodilejandro.

 

[pieatorium]

you get choked to death before they eat you

 

[xbhaskarx]

Did it burst?

Burmese python vs full grown alligator, Florida 2005:

 

[Tesseract]

you get choked to death before they eat you

yeah but for the sake of discussion let's say you're eaten alive.

i'd probably bite my tongue off, fuck it.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

You'd think a croc or gator would have no problem just biting a snake in half. Big snakes are terrifying.

 

[Pickles Spill]

Australia?
Australia.
