"Why is no one talking about having a crocodile and a python fighting in their backyard?"

The 40-second material shows the croc with the serpent in its jaws, with someone filming the action from an open window off the ground.

With its powerful jaws — exerting the strongest bite in the animal world — the croc wriggles its head with lightning speed in both directions, dazing the snake and disabling an attack.

The large, non-venomous, heavy-bodied python, which relies on squeezing its prey to death, gets no chance to latch onto the cold-blooded vertebrate.

The clip ends with the crocodile short of ripping the snake apart but still on top, confirming it won this battle.

Front-row seat to meaty action

It's safe to say netizens were creeped out by the sharp scenes after the clip attracted almost 20 million views 24 hours after it was posted.

Briefly News looks at the bitey comments on it.
