SINGAPORE: To “eat snake” in local parlance would mean to slack off, but a king cobra was recently made to work hard for its meal, a fellow reptile in the form of a python.

The two snakes were locked in a fang-tastic battle that was literally full of twists and turns, across at least seven hours on Thursday, before the king cobra earned its supper.
