While many of Africa’s big predators could be expected to take down an antelope – few could then swallow it whole. But this is just what happens when the killer turns out to be an African rock python.
These photographs show an 8ft snake devouring a young impala in the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana.
Pythons are able to swallow such large prey thanks to dislocatable jaws rigged with tendons, muscles and ligaments that can stretch to extraordinary lengths.
They first kill their prey by wrapping their bodies around them and crushing them using powerful body muscle
‘That was when we let the python digest it in peace because they are so vulnerable when doing so.’
