Frog 'slowly devours' deadly snake
In a "crazy" encounter on a house patio north of Brisbane, a green tree frog eats a red-bellied black snake.
But that is is exactly what happened earlier in the week, when a woman discovered her resident green frog happily chowing down on its deadly dinner.
Jenny Basford said her daughter came across the spectacle at her home near Woodford on Monday evening.
"She just walked outside to call her little puppy in for the night and there on the patio was their resident green frog, with the red-bellied black snake in its mouth," Ms Basford said.
"She sent me through photos, she said 'hey mum look at this, this is crazy'."
Ms Basford said she wasn't sure how long exactly it took the frog to eat the snake, but it would have taken a while.
"Maybe it was over half an hour or three quarters of an hour, I'm not really sure," she said.
"The snake looked to be about 18 inches long also - I mean he's a big green frog but that's a lot of snake to fit into a green frogs tummy."
As to how the toothless frog managed to kill the highly venomous red-bellied black snake, Ms Basford is stumped.
"I mean a frog can't bite a snake, it's got me beat how it did it because it would have to grab the snake behind the head so the snake wouldn't bite it, because the snake would actually kill the frog," she said.
"So it's had to grab the snake behind the head and once he was dead slowly devour him."
Ms Basford said the frog had lived at her daughter's house for years, but it was the first time anyone had seen it eat a snake.
"He's been there for ages," she said.
"They catch moths for him, the kids put moths there for him and all that sort of thing to eat."
However the frog was probably feeling rather full after his serpentine meal.
"I would say he was very uncomfortable for the next twelve hours or so," Ms Bradford said.
