Someone managed to snap this picture of a black snake who had managed to devour its way out of a brown one in (you guessed it) Australia.

Dominique Salvestrin‎ shared the picture on the wall of Australia Zoo, where experts were baffled.

"Hi Australia Zoo, this photo was taken 2 weeks ago on my family's property in Griffith, NSW. Both snakes were dead at the time, most likely run over. As you can see, the black snake is in the mouth of the brown snake. However, there has been some debate as to whether the brown snake ate the black snake and then a care hit them, or was the black snake being inquisitive and crawled into the mouth of the brown snake and exited through the hole in the brown snake, any ideas?? #Straya"

Australia Zoo responded a few hours later but they were also pretty baffled:

"Wow! This is certainly unusual and we have not seen this before. We can't imagine a black snake climbing into another snake but this entire situation is very strange. We would still suggest that the brown one was eating the black one but we will never know for sure.
