A brave cat has been captured in terrifying footage taking on one of Australia's deadliest snakes.
The cat can be seen swiping at the eastern brown snake while on the side of a road in southern New South Wales this week.
Despite the highly venomous snake striking at the animal, the cat seemed unfazed and continued to jab the reptile with its paw.
The anxiety-inducing video was shared to TikTok with many desperate to know who won the battle.

Other cat owners claimed their own pets had gone head-to-head with brown snakes before and miraculously survived.
The woman who filmed the video said while she had no intention of going anywhere near the deadly snake to protect the cat, she and her friends revved their car engine and chased the larger animal away.

Cats are twice as likely to survive from a brown snake bite than dogs are but many have still been killed after trying to take on the deadly reptiles.
Earlier this year on the Sunshine Coast a house cat named Arthur sadly lost his life after attacking a snake to protect two young children.
Arthur managed to kill the brown snake during the fight but suffered a bite which turned out to be fatal.
