Toad Swallowing Snake Caught On Camera (Pictures & Video)
Posted Jun 19, 2009 by Lindsay Britney
Snake is the natural enemy of toad, so it’s common to see a snake swallowing a toad. How about while vice versa? Alright, a rare scene! At around 4:00pm of June 3, Chinese man Ran Long-zhong accidentally witnessed this scene when touring Qingchengshan (Green City Mountain) in Chongqing, Southwest China. At the time, Mr. Ran randomly strode around in the bushes, but he suddenly noticed a fist-sized toad swallowing a orange-black stripped snake. He recorded them on the camera.
As the photos posted here show, the toad swallowed the rear part of the snake first, to this point, the latter were still struggling by twisting its body. But the reptile failed to escape in the end and were completely swallowed in by the toad after five minutes. Watch the whole process in the following video where a guy was heard of saying, “wow, a once-in-a-lifetime chance [to watch a toad swallowing a snake]”
