A woman who stumbled across two venomous snakes engaging in an intense fight to the death has captured the shocking footage on camera.
Jenny Hillman was going for a walk near her property in Ballandean, Queensland – south of Stanthorpe near the New South Wales border – when she came across a red-bellied black snake battling it out with a larger snake.
Ms Hillman couldn’t believe what she was seeing, so she pulled out her phone and started recording the intense battle between the two unlikely foes

She then posted the footage to her Facebook, which shows a brown-coloured snake latching on to a red-bellied black snake, who was desperately trying to retreat.
‘At the river this morning !!!!!!! A truly gargantuan battle,’ Ms Hillman wrote.
The video shows the red-bellied black snake repeatedly trying to fight off the brown-coloured snake by piercing its fangs into its opponent’s body.
At one point the red-bellied black snake tries to slither off, but he is unable to break free from the brown-coloured snake’s grasp.
