Ii`m surmising that the fox was bitten a few times by the snake in the course of killing it and then just 'lay down' My snake bitten dog lasted only 15 minutes or so.
Fascinating. I once found a dead Brown in some open sambar country. It was stretched out in a straight line and it was huge....some 8 feet long. Wondering how it died I examined it closely. Surprisingly it was covered in small bite marks from tail to head. It had been in a fight with something and lost. Looking around I found a dead, wild cat some 10 metres away from the snake. Both combatants had died so two losers.
With your our dead fox and snake and my dead snake and cat I do wonder if this sort of thing happens more often than we realize....that when it happens that we just aren't lucky enough to stumble over the results of such a fight.
