非洲岩蟒吞食比自己腦袋大得多的動物, 這次的對象是角馬。

Shocking moment an African python swallows an entire WILDEBEEST caught on camera for the first time


This is the incredibly rare moment an African python was caught on camera trying to eat an entire wildebeest.

The massive snake looked like its eyes were bigger than its belly when it was discovered in the South African bush swallowing the massive meal.

It is thought to be the first time this behaviour has been caught on camera as the python - which can grow up to 16 foot - was believed to try for much smaller prey.

The gruesome encounter was photographed at the Welgevonden Game Reserve, South Africa, by manager Rudi Hulshof.


The incredible elasticity of the python's jaws is clear in this grisly shot


These are the first known photographs of a python taking on such large prey


The powerful reptiles usually target smaller animals such as rabbits

Rudi, 35, said: 'This was the first time I had ever seen something like this, and I have been working as a game ranger for 15 years already in South Africa, and have also travelled to other African Countries.

'This is an incredibly rare sighting, and is by my knowledge the first time that it has been recorded, let alone photographed and documented that a Southern African python catches prey as big as the blue wildebeest, albeit a wildebeest calf.

'Herpetologists I have consulted are all impressed, and dumbfounded by the images when they have seen them.

'It is not uncommon for pythons to catch live mammal prey, but this would usually consist of smaller species like hares, rabbits, impala lambs, duiker antelope, squirrels, birds, rats, cane rats and rodents etc.

'But to have managed something so big is mind boggling. This can be seen by how the python needed to really stretch its mouth to the limits to try and swallow the prey.

'I have been photographing wildlife for the past 15 years while I have been working in the industry, at various lodges and game reserves spread around South Africa.'


Game reserve manager Rudi Hulshof said seeing the python eat the wildebeest left him 'speechless'

Rudi said he came across the unusual encounter quite by chance while actually looking for lions and leopards.

He said: 'I decided to investigate the area in the afternoon arriving at the spot where the alarm calls were heard hours before, I stopped and scanned the area with my binoculars, seeing only a few scattered Wildebeest, and a herd of Impala.

'The impala  were staring down the back of a ridge drop off about 150 metres away, and it was enough for me to think there could have been a leopard or pride of lions feeding on something just out of sight.

'I took my rifle, left the guests on the vehicle and walked in to try and establish if it was in fact what I thought, and if I would be able to walk clients in safely to view the action.'


A gruesome close-up shows just how wide the reptile can stretch its jaws to consume its prey

He added: 'I however found nothing, and just as I turned to return to my guests, I saw this snake lying on the ground. Moving closer I saw that it was swallowing the Wildebeest calf, aged about two months old.

'I almost could not believe what I was seeing, and being someone normally really composed, my guests must have thought the worst, because I sprinted back to the road as fast as my legs would allow.

'I simply had to retrieve my camera and get pictures, and allow my guests to get pictures, before the sun set, which was only a few minutes away.

'I just told the guests to follow me with their own cameras, not letting the secret out just yet, and led them to the sighting.

'We watched for about 30 minutes, before descending darkness forced us to leave, and return to the car, all speechless at what we had just witnessed.

'We returned the following morning, first thing, but found nothing. No tracks, no scuff marks, no python and no prey. Everything was gone, and because it had rained, we could not read any tracks to see which way the snake may have slithered off.'


African pythons are the largest snakes found on the continent


The next morning all traces of the python and its prey had disappeared

Never believe a python can swallow a whole wildebeest until I saw these pictures! This is incredible!

如果吞晒,一個星期都唔駛旨意走得郁,其實中途都有機會碰到補食者,或者食腐動物去搶,所以我覺得唔係每次都順利吞晒。

大陸新聞中心/綜合報導

據英國媒體報導,在南非Welgevonden禁獵區,管理員魯迪 赫爾肖夫拍攝到巨蟒吞食羚羊的驚人場面。這這組照片裡,蟒蛇張開血盆大口,咬住羚羊的頭部,一點一點吞進肚子裡。

根據中國日報網報導,蟒蛇一般喜歡捕食兔子、松鼠、鳥和老鼠等小型動物,這組照片可能是第一次用照相機捕捉到蟒蛇吞食羚羊這類大型動物的場面。

現年35歲的魯迪說:『我去過非洲很多國家,在南非也當了15年的禁獵區管理員,這樣的場面還是第一次見到。這一幕令人難以置信。我拿這些照片給專家看,他們都驚呆了。』

當天下午,魯迪駕車外出,通過望遠鏡看到一些羚羊。他想,羚羊附近說不定有豹子或者獅子,就拿出獵槍,離開汽車前去一探究竟,卻一無所獲。就在魯迪要返回的時候,偶然發現地上躺著一條蛇。走近一看,那條蟒蛇居然正在吞食一隻大概2個月大的非洲羚羊。魯迪以最快的速度跑回汽車。他說:『我必須回去拿照相機拍照。』

而第二天當他再度返回原地的時候,蟒蛇和羚羊都早已無影無蹤。


拍攝到巨蟒吞食羚羊實屬罕見。


拍攝者表示,這樣的場面讓他震驚。



蟒蛇的嘴非常強大。


非洲巨蟒是非洲已知體型最大的蛇。

简直不敢想象它怎么把角马给吞下,太神奇啦。

Wow that is both amazing and scary at the same time! It is hard to believe that the snake is able to devour an animal that is so much bigger that itself. They must have a very efficient digestive system!

I remember going on a tour of a reptile park, and the expert told us that if we encounter a snake, the best option is to stand still, change direction and slowly walk away from the snake. DO NOT attempt to pick it up or attack it. Snakes do not usually attack or bite unless provoked.
He also said that snakes are more common around backyards or inside houses during warmer weather, so it is probably best that we keep our doors closed and avoid walking in long grass grass during hot temperatures.  

Hopefully we do not encounter any snakes in the wild!

世界上還有比非洲岩蟒還要更大的蛇類
就是位於亞馬遜河域的綠森蚺
最長可以到到12米
