A non-venomous Grass snake (Natrix natrix) was swallowing a large European toad (Bufo bufo) for 5 hours! Toads have parotoid glands which produce poison, but Grass snakes seem to be unaffected by it. The snake opened its mouth wide and slowly overpowered the toad. Flies started to lay eggs on the toad during this process! This scene was filmed in a forest kindergarten in the Czech Republic.
Snek is living proof that persistence pays off.
Thank you for watching!
I am always amazed that a snake's lungs can function when ingesting such huge prey items. The kindergarten looks excellent!
Yes, it is amazing. But you probably know that in most snakes only one lung is functioning 🙂 There is simply not enough space for both being large. Zuzana is happy that you like the kindergarten!
Beautiful grass snake, and an epic fight... Thanks for documenting it 😄
It was really cool to film this scene, great that you like it! 🙂🙏
Fight?
5:23 "flies are alrdy laying eggs on the toad's body" LMAO
Thanks for watching!
This snake got frog legs and several tiny omelettes. Gotta say, that's quite the meal!

Wow this is amazing I didn’t think the grass snake was going 2 b able 2 swallow the toad. Loved this
Glad you enjoyed it! We did not know how it will end for a long time! Epic battle…
Beautiful foutage and camera work
Thank you very much for watching!
Nature is fascinating and most of us are oblivious to stuff like this. Thanks for filming this. Epic!
Very welcome! It was so cool to witness this 5 minutes from the place where we live!
Zdravím krásné záběry tahle ropucha se ještě nafukuje viděl jsem to u Bufo viridis jediný Heterodon má na žabu obranu že ji propíchne tohohle hada už jsem si choval v roce 1990 a nikdy se nesnažil kousnout i když je mírně jedovatý díky s pozdravem Petr.
Díky za sledování! 🙂
3:37 The toad isn’t fighting, it looks like it’s trying to help the snake by pushing itself into the snakes mouth
It is trying to inflate its body and it hopes that the snake will not be able to swallow it. That’s the only strategy there.
@@LivingZoology The toad doesn't realize, it's too late for it.
Fascinating 😮
Thanks for watching!
Amazing reminded me of an African rock python eating a gazelle.
Yes, this is similarly epic, just on a smaller scale!
Поговорка ,, не в коня корм,, тут неуместна.😮
Thanks for watching.
I didn’t realise snakes could eat a European toad, I thought their poison would kill a snake if eaten. 🐍v 🐸
Natrix Natrix eats a lot of them :)
Grass snakes seem to unaffected by the poison!
Is the snake poisonous?
It is non-venomous.
@@LivingZoology
I asked because I thought the toad could have survived the fight if the snake was nonvenomous.
@@pebbles9908 This species is non-venomous.
Is the Frog is Poisonous it's a Cane toad I think
@@RachelAnstromLifeinSweden
I was wondering how the snake was able to overcome the toad if the snake was not poisonous.
