Governors Camp Collection

Yesterday afternoon at approximately 4.15pm a female African rock Python had killed a female Grants Gazelle and was seen trying to swallow it near Bila Shaka in the Musiara area. Part way during the feeding she stopped tried to regurgitate the gazelle, unfortunately while doing this one of the gazelles horns pierced the pythons body coming completely out which stopped the regurgitation. The pythons body was ripped in its attempts to free its self. Eventually it freed its self and moved off and then disapeared down a nearby hole. We have seen this female before, and two years ago we also witnessed her killing and eating a Thomson Gazelle. Photos are courtesy of Patrick Reynolds Il Moran Camp Manager and Dave Richards relief manager Governors Camp.
