The spindly snake was held in the bullfrog's mouth. JAKARTA, INDONESIA: INCREDIBLE images taken from a garden in Indonesia show how an African bullfrog attempts to eat a vine snake who manages to bite back before becoming dinner for the frog.Like unruly spaghetti photos show how the 20-inch vine snake wriggled valiantly about, even managing to take a bite out of its predator before becoming engulfed by the ten-inch African bullfrog. Another shot captured the moment the thin vine snake tries to free itself by snapping at the two-pound heavy bullfrog, while still being encased in its jaws.

African bullfrogs have much stronger jaws than many assume of the small animal, as they have been known to eat rodents, reptiles, and in some cases have even been known to bite birds.

What was even more surprising was that Tanto did not conceal himself from the frog in order to gain these photographs, and sat less than two-feet away from the frog for around ten-minutes before he was able to capture these amazing images. ?I feel so lucky to have captured the moment, ? he said. ?The frog is my pet I bring out to the garden and in the garden s
