A Snake having Lunch Roadside in Arizona

Wow.  These are really cool photos of a snake consuming a monitor lizard.  Reportedly in Arizona.

From my email “These pictures were taken by one of the the road crew at Cloudbreak, Arizona last week. It took a total of 5 hours for the snake to finish off the Goanna (Sand Monitor).  As you can see, they put some signage up so it wouldn’t be run over.”

    This is a black headed python eating a goanna in Australia.

    These photos were taken by a member of the Cloudbreak mine crew in the Pilbara region of western Australia.
    The animal is know here as a goanna (lizard) and the snake a black headed python.
    The uniform on the man is their mine clothes.
    It’s illegal to kill snakes in Aussie hence the markers to stop it being run over.
