It is a snake-eat-snake world.

Or so it seems in this still from a video captured by Ethan Silvester last week in Albany of a dugite eating a tiger snake.

“At first I thought it was just a snake — I was going to push it off the road because I didn’t want it to get run over, then I realised it was a snake eating a snake,” he said.

“It was a dugite eating a tiger snake.

“I’ve seen snakes eating things but never another snake.

“I feel lucky to have witnessed it.”

Mr Silvester said when he approached the snakes, the dugite was halfway up the tiger, swallowing it.

‘I’ve never seen anything like it before, it was insane,” he said.
