A team led by Danish herpetologist Henrik Bringsoe captured this novel snacking strategy on camera.

The [https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/small-banded%20kukri small-banded kukri] snake lives in Thailand and eats Asian black-spotted toads, which secrete a toxin on their necks and backs to deter predators.

Kanjana Nimnuam "The fights we saw lasted for up to a few hours, depending on the organs the snake would pull out first," [ Bringsoe wrote in a blog post for the journal's publisher Pensoft]. In a fourth instance, an adult kukri snake swallowed a toad whole, leading to plenty of questions about the feeding behavior. Are the snakes avoiding the toxin by going for the organs? Are smaller toads less toxic and safer to eat? The researchers don't have answers yet. If you made it this far and are worried about snake nightmares, you can take some comfort from this: "Perhaps you'd be pleased to know that kukri snakes are, thankfully, harmless to humans," Bringsoe said. You still wouldn't want to be bitten by a kukri snake, however. The reptiles inject an anticoagulant that causes wounds to bleed for hours "so your finger would feel as if cut apart." Sleep well.

In the short note, she said she was blown away and touched by the "incredible efforts" of those who campaigned for her release. "I can't tell you how heartening it was to hear that my friends and colleagues were speaking up and hadn't forgotten me," Ms Moore-Gilbert wrote. "It gave me so much hope and strength to endure what had seemed like a never-ending, unrelenting nightmare. "My freedom truly is your victory. From the bottom of my heart, thank you." Prime Minister Scott Morrison last week described Dr Moore-Gilbert as "an extraordinarily intelligent, strong and courageous woman" and hailed her return as a "moment of pure joy". The Middle Eastern studies lecturer at Melbourne University was arrested at Tehran's airport in 2018 after attending an academic conference. She was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment on spying charges. The Australian government has refused to confirm reports that her release was secured as part of a prisoner exchange. Three Iranian prisoners were released from Thailand earlier this week.
