# Photos: Python Kills and Devours Crocodile in Australia

![](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/23/MKJ7GPRMRZDN7UK2WEJPZWYQZI.jpg>)
*This snake ended up with a hefty meal after a five-hour long fight. Onlookers watched as the estimated 10-foot python constricted a crocodile to death and then dragged it to shore and ate it whole. These photos were taken at Lake Moondarra near Mount Isa in Queensland, Australia on March 2. \<em\>Photo by: Marvin Muller/Barcroft Media/Landov\</em\>*
