A snake has won a lengthy battle with a Crocodile in northern Queensland, wrestling it, constricting it and then finally eating it.

The incident  at Lake Maondarra, near Mount Isa, was captured on camera by local residents on Sunday.

The 10-fit snake, thought to be a python, coiled itself around the Crocodile and the two struggled in water.

The snake later brought the dead Crocodile onto land and ate it.
