IT’S enough to make Richard Attenborough weep.

But these shocking pictures of a 10-foot python munching a wallaby in Australia have gone viral after a bloke spotted the pair  in his garden.

Bernie Worlsfold watched the incident unfold and quickly snapped the horror show in Kuranda, north Queensland.

The pictures show the snake’s jaws wrapped around the unsuspecting Wallaby’s body.

"It was right in the middle of the paddock, there it was rolling around this huge wallaby and python," Worlsfold told ABC News on Monday.

Witness Patrick Williams managed to take a video too, getting up close and perhaps too personal with the beast.

The terrifying scenes show just how wild it gets in Australia.

But it could be worse.

A crocodile broke a keeper’s arm in two after biting him and performing a death roll while being teased during a show in Thailand.

And one unlucky lad suffered a nasty bite to his penis after a six-foot rattle snake emerging from their loo in the same country.
