Bushwalkers were given a mighty fright after stumbling across the skeleton of a snake on Friday.

The snake was picked apart by ravaging ants, leaving the skeleton clean of any flesh
Blue Mountains Day Tours said the snake was cleared of any remains by ants.
‘A snake has died and you are now seeing the remains after ants have devoured the snake and the cycle of life continues,’ the page captioned the photos.
While the species of snake is not known, the serpent was once quite the beast in size.
With its tail draped across the length of the rocks, the snake has been picked apart by ravaging ants.
Only a few scales remains on the bones of the creature’s head, with all other parts of the body eaten.
