Snake chokes out hawk in MMA-style battle
A snake attempts to choke out a hawk in a MMA-style battle which was caught on camera by hikers in Brazil.
The hawk got a rude shock when it attempted to take down a snake for lunch.
The long limbless reptile responded by wrapping itself around the bird’s neck and attempting to choke it out on a dirt road in Minas Gerais, a state in southeastern Brazil.
Feeling pity on the hawk - which can be seen attempting to 'tap out' - one of the men can be seen poking the snake with a stick causing it to let go of the floundering bird.
The life-or-death battle ends when the snake eventually gives up and slithers away as the hawk miraculously flies off.
A similar incident happened in the Middle East where locals tried to save an eagle after it attempted to take down a snake.

Tree snake versus water dragon
This good size Tree Snake was chowing down on a Water Dragon at Nambour Plaza. When I turned up to move it back over into the trees from the carpark he was nearly finished it with just the tail hanging out. Tree snakes have no venom and so they actually eat their prey alive.
