It's the animal kingdom fight that nobody said they wanted to see but now it's been seen you can't unsee. A snake has fought a bat in a tense video, while onlookers watched in shock and despair.
The snake wraps its entire body around the flying fox bat, squeezing its death grip tight.
But, somehow, the fruit bat manages to fight back and wriggles free using its wings and claws to stab at the snake's scales.

The bat then manages to crawl away from the reptile.
In the background, onlookers can be heard gasping as they watch from a beach in the Similan Islands in Thailand.
One witness exclaims: "The bat is biting him!"
Another pipes up: "Oh my God, oh my God. I feel sorry for it."
It is not known whether the bat managed to survive as it was last seen crawling desperately through the sand, using its wings to drag itself out of harm's way.
