[O]n Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, Australia. The locals are blase enough about the local wildlife to kayak on the lake and breakfast nearby, but even they were stunned when word started to spread of the 5 hour battle. “[The crocodile] was fighting at the start, so it was trying to keep its head out of water and survive,” local Tiffany Corlis told the local ABC radio station.

“Finally, the croc sort of gave in and the snake had uncoiled for a little while and had a brief break and then actually started to consume the crocodile.”
