An sudden sighting in Mombo Camp within the Okavango Delta, a Southern African python managed to efficiently wrap itself round an impala lamb, till an opportunistic hyena tried to steal his kill.
Mike Sutherland who got here throughout this unimaginable sighting, instructed LatestSightings: ‘We had been on a morning recreation drive through the time of yr when many animals like warthogs, impala and wildebeest have infants. The bush was alive!
‘There was a big herd of impala on the sting of the dry floodplain and a hyena strolling within the distance. A python had slithered down from a big, fruited Bushwillow tree and camouflaged itself within the leaf litter. One unfortunate younger lamb stepped proper over the snake and, in a flash, it had been caught.’
The opportunistic hyena got here alongside, who was affected person at first, making an attempt to chunk on the impala lamb to let it go, earlier than deciding to select up each the impala and the python.
The fixed harassment by the hyena led the python to surrender, and it slithered again to the bushes. Watch the total sighting beneath.
