Ocellated Kukri Snake proceeding to swallow a poisonous Asian common toad

Caption

An Ocellated Kukri Snake (Vietnam) first pierced this poisonous Asian common toad and buried its head deeply into the abdomen of the amphibian, as it was probably eating the organs. However, as seen in the photo, the kukri snake proceeded to swallow the toad whole.
