The whopper snake took on the croc at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, on Sunday.
Mount Isa mother Tiffany Corlis was having breakfast nearby when canoeists racing on the lake alerted her about the endurance battle playing out nearby.

It’s a rare site – a python devouring a freshwater crocodile.

The snake is an olive python and the crocodile is a freshwater species.

The crocodile was fighting at the start, trying to keep its head out of water and survive,” said Tiffany Corlis, who capture these images. But as the morning sort of progressed, both of them were getting a little weaker and the snake won out.

The body of the crocodile can be seen under the skin of the snake who’s devoured it.
