\"6ace78af56fe1c334e4b34e5f32299b2_L\"<\/a>A snake has won a lengthy battle with a crocodile in northern Queensland, wrestling it, constricting it and then finally eating it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The incident at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, was captured on camera by local residents on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The 10-ft snake, thought to be a python, coiled itself around the crocodile and the two struggled in the water.<\/p>\n

The snake later brought the dead crocodile onto land and ate it.<\/p>\n

“[The crocodile] was fighting at the start, it was trying to keep its head out of water and survive,” Tiffany Corlis, who took these pictures, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.<\/p>\n

\"snake4\"<\/a>“But as the morning progressed you could tell both of them were getting a little weaker as the struggle was going on, finally the croc sort of gave in.”<\/p>\n

Her husband, Travis, told AFP news agency that the two adversaries had “quite a struggle” in the water.<\/p>\n

“It was an ongoing battle,” he said. “We were just standing there in amazement watching it.”<\/p>\n

Another witness, Alyce Rosenthal, told local media that the two creatures fought for about five hours. By the end, they appeared exhausted, she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s not something that you see every day,” she said.<\/p>\n
