I was gong through some old snaps of my Kruger trips and came across some pics I took of an Afroc Constricting and swallowing a baby impala.
It was on one of the short loops roads on the Skukuza/Lower Sabi Road. We came across a white citi golf and he pointed to the bush. There was an impala standing there, making a calling sound, when we scanned the area just behind the impala we spotted movement on the ground and then realised it was a python in the constricting process.
It was at quite a distance so pics are not that great. Anyways, we watched this python swallow the impala and then move off. A very rare siting indeed, we spoke to some rangers later that day and they said that they had never witnessed an afroc with a kill, so we were chuffed.
These pics were taken in Nov 2006, my dad and I reckon that the afroc must have been 4m+
