The python swallowing the crocodile at Queensland's Lake Moondarra.

The extraordinary bout testing the animals’ strength and endurance took place at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, and drew quite a crowd from people having breakfast nearby.

The snake coiled itself around the crocodile while both were in the water, but the smaller reptile was able to keep its head in the air and stay alive.

Eventually the metre-long crocodile succumbed to exhaustion, and what some witnesses said may have been up to five hours of constriction, at which point it was dragged out onto dry land.
