Snake Escapes After Being Eaten By A Larger Snake

An extraordinary photograph shows a snake escaping after being eaten by a larger serpent. The smaller snake was fortunate that its predator fell prey to a pet cat before it had been digested.
One way or another, we're all familiar with songs where one predator gets topped by another, but we don't usually expect to see it in action to the extent that Dick Mulder did while living in Corfu, Greece.
"My wife, who didn't like the idea of a dead snake on her veranda, screeched that the snake wasn't dead—she saw it moving," Mulder told National Geographic. "I reassured her that it was really dead."
When Mulder saw that the snake was indeed moving, he did what any right-thinking inhabitant of the 21st century would do: he went to grab a camera. By the time he got back, a small snake—later identified as Dahl's whip snake (Platyceps najadum)—had its head sticking out. Mulder then witnessed it struggle the rest of its way to freedom, before slithering off to safety.
