It was one of the most astonishing battles in the animal world - when a snake decided it was going to swallow a whole crocodile for lunch.
If it seems an impossible notion, these photos show the astonishing result as the snake slithered slowly away with the crocodile filling its body.
Local woman Tiffany Corlis saw the snake, a python, heading towards the freshwater crocodile on the edge of Lake Moondarra, some 12 miles north east of Mount Isa, in outback Queensland, reported the ABC.
With lightning speed it suddenly wrapped itself around the crocodile and put it in a death squeeze.
No matter how much the crocodile struggled, it had no hope of freeing itself from the snake’s powerful body.
It wasn’t long before life was squeezed out of the croc.
