This gruesome video captures the moment two snakes fight to the death for ten minutes before the shorter of the two emerges victorious.

The shocking video was captured on a camera phone by Xiao Chunhua, a farmer living in China’s Sichuan province, who was on his way to visit relatives when he saw the snakes.

According to local reports, the black reptile, believed to be a white-bellied rat snake, appeared to be winning at first.

The shocking video was captured on a smartphone camera by Xiao Chunhua, a farmer living in China’s Sichuan province.

The man said he bit the smaller snake on the back and even drew blood.

However, the modeled reptile, a real rat snake, began to change things and it wasn’t long before it was biting even harder.

The farmer then watched in horror as the aggressive king rat snake began to swallow the longer reptile, despite being almost five feet shorter than its foe.

The video, which has been sped up and condensed into parts, concludes with the rat snake very much dead, while the patterned reptile continues to devour its enemy in its entirety.

The man said the black snake seemed to be winning at first and drew blood from the smaller reptile.

However, the king rat snake began to turn things around and it wasn’t long before it bit and then swallowed its enemy.

The king rat snake does not produce venom, but is known to be extremely predatory and was even named for its appetite for snakes.

The reptile, found in Southeast Asia and East Asia, suffocates its prey by constriction, similar to a boa and python.

The other name for the species is the Taiwan stink snake, due to its highly developed postanal gland, which it empties when disturbed.

The video concluded with the rat snake very dead, as the patterned reptile continued to eat it whole.
