Two venomous snakes have fought to the death in an Australian backyard, before the hungry victor devoured the other.
Video shared by Liz Williams shows a brown snake and a tiger snake grappling at a Nanneella property, near Rochester in Victoria on Friday night.
The brown snake can be seen coiling itself around the other reptile as the pair roll around in the dirt.

The brown snake then clamps its fangs down on the tiger and starts eating its head.
‘It was amazing, I didn’t even know they would fight like that, let alone eat one another,’ Ms Williams told the Riverine Herald.
A snake catcher was called to bag the pair up.
He later called Ms Williams to tell her the brown snake regurgitated the tiger snake.
Both brown snakes and tiger snakes are venomous, and snakes do occasionally eat each other.
