Hungry Python.

Blog, Photos — By on December 3, 2012 2:46 pm

Here’s a pic that may be of interest.  A python getting to grips with a baby impala. Unfortunately (for the python) it was frightened by our arrival and soon uncoiled and slid off into the undergrowth – leaving the dead impala in the open.   We expected to see the snake return later in the day to enjoy its meal but  some keen eyed scavengers (jackals, wild dogs, vultures – who knows what) got there first and when we returned a few hours later there was one little hoof remaining – the rest had all been eaten – leaving a hungry python to start looking for a meal all over again!
