Photographers capture the moment a snake tries to escape alligator's jaws at Florida wildlife reserve

 

A life and death struggle between a desperate snake and a hungry alligator in central Florida was captured by a pair of wildlife photographers over the weekend.

Husband and wife photographers Jesse and Linda Waring were visiting the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, Florida on Saturday when they saw the orange and brown snake doing its best to escape from the jaws of the alligator.

'Jesse's eagle eye spotted this big guy working on his lunch and his lunch trying to escape! I just started clicking...!' the husband and wife duo wrote on their business' Facebook page Sunday morning.

The ecological battle of wills the couple witnessed lasted more than 10 minutes.

Horrible Moment: Farmers Snatch Dog Out Of A Giant Snake's Mouth (Video)

The moment a dog is saved by Brazilian villagers from being killed by an anaconda has been captured on video.

At the beginning of the footage, the dog with the deadly snake wrapped around it can be seen by the riverbank.

According to Andrew Barao, who posted the video, the dog went missing from a farm and after a search it was spotted about to become an ‘afternoon snack’ for an anaconda.

He said the villagers then ‘rapidly’ moved into action to save the dog, which would almost certainly have been killed.

In the video, a man from the village grabs the snake by the tail and is helped by another man as they both pull the snake, with the dog firmly in its grasp, out of the water.

As the snake is  dragged out of the water, the dog can clearly been seen with the serpent’s tail around its head.

The pair are then dragged up the river bank along the grass, with the two men joined by another and all three begin shaking the snake in a bid to free the dog.

One of the men then tries to pull the dog free from the snake before he eventually grabs a stick and begins hitting it.

After a few hard whacks, the dog manages to scamper free and begins running around, barking at the snake.
