The department wrote on Facebook, "This highly venomous tiger snake didn't stand a chance when a hungry southern heath monitor came looking for something to munch on,"
"Captured by our Frankland district flora officer Janine Liddelow, this shot was taken on a forest track north-east of Walpole. The southern heath monitor can be found north and south of the Swan River and in the State's far south-west. Growing up to 1.5m [5 feet], it has a diet of birds, reptiles, small mammals, eggs and carrion -- dead animal flesh,"
