Python remains close to kill Dec 17 2007

There is lots of activity at a waterhole at Meno A Kwena camp in the Kalahari Desert of Botswana. Large animals like kudu and zebra can be seen, but also smaller creatures like the African rock python (Python natalensis), in the Earth-Touch clip, Python regurgitates bird.

This snake must have felt threatened in some way and had regurgitated its meal, a young African red-eyed bulbul (Pycnonotus nigricans). The snake had not yet begun to digest the bird, so the meal must have been recent.

Did you know? Snakes Oct 5 2007

In our recent clip, Python regurgitates bird, we see an African rock python which has just regurgitated an African red-eyed bulbul. One reason snakes sometimes regurgitate food is to get away from a threatening situation quickly.

How to film sound … Sep 14 2007


By Graeme Duane, field crew
You may have seen my Dune forest birdsong piece on Earth-Touch a few days ago? The soundtrack of the birdsong in the forest was the feature of this one, but behind the myriad whistles and chirps emanating from the dense foliage of this coastal forest in KwaZulu-Natal was some frustration on my part.
