This is the dramatic moment a kingfisher nearly drowned after a snake it tried to eat fought back and dragged it underwater by the neck. The incredible battle was captured by amateur photographer Nitin Jain, 38, while he was admiring the wildlife in Pune, India. During the minute-long battle the ferocious Keelback snake can be seen thrashing out of the water, grabbing the kingfisher around the neck and dunking it back under the water multiple times.
