A villager in China captured a fearless rat trying to eat a big snake on a dusty road on Monday (July 2).

The unusual video shows the rat bitting the snake on its head and body before dragging it into a bush in Puning County in southern China's Guangdong Province.

An onlooker tries to save the snake by pulling it out but the rat drags it back into the bush again.

The wounded snake reportedly died.
