This was a pretty good fight for a while. At one point the lizard even made a nice move and had the snake in its grip. Eventually, however, the snake was too much for the lizard to handle. After about a ten minute struggle, the snake swallowed the lizard whole in a couple of seconds. This was taken in Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula in southwest Costa Rica.

So maybe I don’t really want to go to costa rica?????
That’s just a harmless little rat snake. As long as you’re not a lizard you’ll be fine.
Poor lizard!!!
Holy Camoli! No need to share such a close-up of Nature’s cruelty!
What an awesome picture of the circle of life! Did the lizard go down head first or tail first?
Head first and quick, especially after such a long fight where they almost seemed evenly matched.
