The video captured by one of the paserss-by shows the cobra trying to sink its fangs into the python’s wriggling body and inject a fatal dose of poison, while the python is using his own deadly tactics gradually constricting its enemy.

Pic shows: The snakes fighting. Two hissing snakes fought an extraordinary public battle on a road as crowds of people watched in amazement. The python and a cobra were locked in a deadly embrace on a university campus in Singapore. Footage of the mortal combat at Nanyang Technological University proved a big hit when it was uploaded onto the college’s social media and YouTube. The video shows a giant reticulated python desperately trying to wriggle free from the grip of a king cobra. The python, one of the world’s largest snakes that can grow to nearly 7 metres, slithers around trying to free itself from the python’s deadly grip. As the deadly duo tussle, the python manages to suddenly turn over the cobra and it manages to break free and quickly slithers off into freedom in the bushes. There was no such luck for the cobra though as students had called the emergency services and it was picked up and bagged by pest control officers. Pythons are not normally dangerous to humans and are non venormous, while cobra’s are known to slowly squeeze their victims to death before eating them whole. Many people posted comments on social media platforms and users were advised to be alert when taking walks near the bushes or running, particularly at night. (ends)
