This incredible sight shows two voracious snakes ғɪɢʜᴛing over a live fish. The first Checkered keelback in Madhya Pradesh, Iɴᴅɪᴀ’s Kanha National Park, caught the catfish from a stream. The first keelback had already seized the victim in its mouth and was raising it out of the water to consume it for lunch when a second one reared up and bit on the victim’s tail.

In addition to the two snakes ғɪɢʜᴛing, the fish was striving to escape, which it eventually did after 30 minutes. That fish has a lot of personality. The three creatures were rooted in an odd position for about thirty minutes.

Eventually, the snake that was holding the fish’s tail gave up and sank back into the river. A few minutes later, the fish started to move, causing the second snake to lose its hold and retreat. The fish were able to return to the water, but both snakes went without sustenance. The fact that the fish swam away led others to believe it was still alive.

Asia is home to the common keelback non-ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍᴏᴜs water snake, and catfish are identified by their projecting barbels, which resemble cat whiskers.

Let’s watch this amazing ғɪɢʜᴛ in the video below:
