Two snakes battle it out during epic ten-minute fight

A bizarre video has emerged from China of a patterned snake eating and swallowing a black snake during an epic ten-minute battle.

A resident managed to capture the lengthy fight on camera in Sichuan Province on Monday.

According to a local Chinese news outlet, the victorious snake was slightly shorter than the 1.5m victim, but more violent.

Neither of the snakes are toxic.

It's not the first time a feisty snake has been caught on film.

This large cobra sunk its fangs into a Malaysian snake handler during a live demonstration.



Onlookers captured the moment this python and king cobra went head to head in a fight on the side of a road.

But they can also be gentle too, like this helpless rattlesnake that found itself stuck in rubbish bin. Fortunately it was found by a kind heart who helped to set it free.

Elvis the cobra is pretty placid most of the time too - although he's known for his Jekylll and Hyde-style personality sometimes.
