The jaw dropping moment a giant Python
swallowed a baby Antelope was captured on
camera by animal rescuer Nitish Bambhaniya in
the village of Billa in Gujarat, India.
"I got a call in the morning for an Indian rock
python. When we reached the spot, we saw this
massive python. The python had hunted a baby
blue bull and had already eaten 80% of the
bull's body. It is on the edge of an open field,
so lots of locals start gathering there." Nitish
said
As people gathered, with many saying the snake
should be killed as it could be a danger to
them, the snake known as the Indian Rock
Python stopped swallowing the antelope & let
go of its lifeless body.
"Pythons do it so that they can shed body
weight and escape faster. Meanwhile, we
convinced the villagers not to kill the python
and they agreed. Later we caught the python
and handed it over to the forest department
officials." Nitish said
The python was released by the officials in a
nearby forest, before slithering away to freedom. photos of the action below:
