In a bizarre twist of predator vs prey on the outskirts of Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) in Mumbai, a crab was spotted dragging up a tree a severed snake — a common krait — which is one of India’s deadliest.

A wildlife photographer came across the unusual sight and found the crab gripping part of the common krait that had been severed into two pieces. Wildlife photographer Tanishq Shah said, “A few days back while surveying semi-urban habitats for snakes, we came across a crab in an unusual position.
