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. Photo by: Marvin Muller/Barcroft Media/Landov
