A snake has won an epic battle against a crocodile at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa. The fearless python swallows the crocodile according to local residents who captured the battle last Sunday.

Tiffany Corlis, one of the locals who witnessed the incident, said that the crocodile tried to fight but was no match for the python.

“(The crocodile) was fighting at the start, it was trying to keep its head out of water and survive,” she told ABC News. “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.”
