Australia is a continent and country isolated from the rest of the world. So much so, that it has evolved its own set of dangerous and weird animals that are not found anywhere else in the world.
Here are a few of them.
Here's a news report of a snake eating a crocodile in Australia :
A SNAKE fought, wrestled and then ate a crocodile whole following a dramatic five-hour long battle. The incident was captured on camera by author Tiffany Corlis at Lake Moondarra in Queensland, Australia. The snake - thought to be python measuring around 10ft - constricted the croc to death, before dragging it to shore and eating it whole in front of a shocked crowd of onlookers.
Here are a few of them.
