Animals
A snake that won a spectacular fight to the death with a fox in northern NSW has had successful surgery at a Gold Coast wildlife hospital. The carpet python ambushed the fox at Terragon near Tweed Heads on Tuesday, only to be bitten through the head. It managed to constrict the fox to death but was still trapped in the fox’s jaws.
