Good luck to the flying fox when trying to fight off the python’s clenched hand and escape death

A snake catcher has rescued a flying fox from the grips of a carpet python in Queensland.
Snake Catcher Bryce Lockett from snakecatcher.com.au was called to the Brisbane suburb of Jindalee, where the unlikely duo had fallen from a tree in a backyard.
The snake was coiled tightly around its victim.

However, the plucky flying fox was fighting back, and the story had a happy ending.
“The flying fox was still alive and had just as good of a bite on the snake,” he posted on Facebook.
“Eventually, the snake let go of the flying fox leaving it with just a small tear in its wing membrane!

“The snake and the flying fox were taken to the vet to get checked out, but both will be fine.
“Proof that it pays to never give up!”
