funny how you took a photo before you killed it, hey?

That appears to be a rare and valuable south brisbane river cat eating snake and should be saved at all costs. Or it could be a green tree snake. Either way, the snake/cat bout has got to be something that should be televised on Sky or Fox sports.
Jokes, I'm an animal lover. There's just something about cat arrogance that you can't ignore.

yeah, my brother thought it might be a juvenile green tree snake

i thought it was some kind of tree snake, until it got angry

the cats caught half a dozen of them in our backyard rockery...always a classic to watch...she jumps about ten feet high

next time i'll pull the video camera out
