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.
This snake, intricately beautiful in colour and pattern, was not going anywhere, staying close to its kill.
