Frog eats a snake

GREEN frogs are a regular sight in Far North Queensland - but rarely making a meal of a snake.

As these photos taken by Ian Hamilton show, the frog is not incapable of experimenting with new predator-prey relationships and dinnertime treats.

Mr Hamilton said his 18-year-old grandson, Brendan Healy, spotted this frog snacking on a brown tree snake in his grandparents’ retirement village garden in Mackay last Sunday night.

“We took some photos, not realising at the time just how unusual it was,” he said.
