It happens all the time, but people seem to love videos of Australian animals being, well, Australian animals. Amazing stories, right?

Anyway, a new video has emerged of a a particularly large brown snake in NSW's far west dragging a bearded dragon lizard along the road.

Andrew Hull posted the video on Saturday to his Facebook account and it has now attracted more than 119,000 video views.

"So I'm driving up the river road from Wilcannia, composing a poem for Ian Marr, heart full of the bush, the autumn sun, and the wide red road, upon which lay a sizeable brown snake eating a bearded dragon," wrote Mr Hull.

"I thought "bugger me - Australia!!" Then thought 'the only thing this scene needs is a barefoot bogan to film it on his phone and stick it on Facebook'....So I did."
Snake expert Ray Hoser took a look at the footage for NITV News and says it's its most likely to be a large female Western Brown.


Not to be outdone, in Sydney's Redfern, a giant wasp carrying an even larger huntsman spider was caught on camera over the weekend.
