Recently, social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has witnessed a strong surge of shares regarding a fierce battle between a crocodile and a giant python, leaving viewers horrified. The video was shared by the account @TheeDarkCircle.
In the video, a crocodile holds onto the body of a python, while the python writhes in pain, seeking a chance to fight back. The python attempts to constrict the crocodile as the crocodile tries to bite its adversary to death. Ultimately, after a prolonged and intense struggle, the python appears to be at a disadvantage compared to the crocodile.
In the natural world, encounters between pythons and crocodiles are not uncommon. In such battles, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which is the prey and which is the predator.
