Snake Devours Crocodile On the 3 rd M arch 2014, a 10ft python took on a 3ft fresh water crocodile in a dramatic 5 hour long battle and won; eating it fully and dragging it to a nearby shore, all in 15minutes, in front of a large, shocked crowd . This incident happened at lake M oonda r ra in Queensland , Australia. A local, Ms. Corlis, caught the event on camera and explained, “The croc was fighting in the start, but as the morning progressed you could tell they were getting weaker, finally the croc s ort o f gave in” . Snake expert Professor Bryan fry, from the university of Queensland, said “ They normally target rodents and smaller animals but the fresh water croc was a relatively easy prey, they’re dangerous to catch but easier to sneak up on”. Although this seems like an impressive site, snakes eating large animals are not uncommon as they are extremely strong. Before swallowing them the snake squeezes and suffocates them when the animal is down. It is however risky, for example in 2005 a python in Flor ida tried to swallow an alligator but then exploded as it was too big which caused and an artery was cut. By Nicole McNally
