Horrifying moment snake eats another snake in India

Two men watch in awe as a poisonous snake swallows another of its kind in southern India.

The incident took place on May 24 in the Bangalore Rural district of Karnataka state.

Footage shows the two snakes, identified as banded krait and Russell viper by a clearly knowledgable commentator, slithering on the road.

The krait then attacks the smaller viper and clamps its jaws onto the reptile.

The viper tries to escape by attacking the krait but ultimately fails and is slowly devoured.
