A family in Queensland has stumbled upon a rare sight – catching a hungry frog in the middle of devouring a snake for dinner.

On Monday evening, Jenny Basford’s daughter was bringing her dog in for the night at her home near Woodford, when she looked down to see a green tree frog munching on what appeared to be a Red-bellied black snake.

“(She) went outside…and her long-time resident green frog was devouring the Red-bellied black snake,” Ms Basford told 9news.com.au.

“Ate the whole lot and sat with a belly full.

“Never seen (it) before,” she added.

Ms Basford’s daughter took the rare opportunity to photograph the occasion, and the series of pictures show the frog, who is perched on a pot plant, appearing to hold the snake in its webbed ‘hands’.
