Python eats an entire wildebeest calf Posted on 13 December 2012 That is quite a mouthful. Rudi Hulshof was conducting a safari in Welgevonden Game Reserve in the Waterberg when he came across this python attempting to eat an entire wildebeest calf. Rudi says, “I was alerted to a disturbance by snorting impalas, and went on foot to investigate, hoping to find a lion or a leopard. After no luck, I turned to return to my car and this four-metre long python caught my eye. I ran back to my safari vehicle to collect my camera and my guests, so that we could all experience this once-in-a-lifetime sighting. The fast-setting sun made it necessary for us to return to the vehicle much too soon.” Related Posts The leader of the pack: a wildlife vet saving the ‘unsaveable’ 3 November 2021 Wildlife vet Dr Johan Marais has spent his life travelling across Africa saving the 'unsaveable'.... read more Zimbabwe Offers a Slice of Northern Delight 6 May 2021 Zimbabwe was once the road-trip destination for Saffers, but has been at the butt end... read more Rediscovering Pilanesberg 15 March 2021 Taking a bush break after months of lockdown gave Aiwekhoe Iyahen a renewed sense of... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
