THIS is the amazing moment a lion fought off the snapping jaws of a crocodile so it could feed on a dead hippo
The pictures were taken in the
Maasi Mara nature reserve, in Kenya and show hungry lion braving a
crocodile-infested river to get to an upside down hippo, which had died
overnight of natural causes. The incident was witnessed and
captured on camera by Richard Chew, an IT manager from San Francisco,
USA who was on holiday with his wife.
The incident at Lake Moondarra, near Mount Isa, was captured on camera by local residents on Sunday. The 10-ft snake, thought to be a python, coiled itself around the crocodile and the two struggled in the water. The snake later brought the dead crocodile onto land and ate it.
A python strangled a security guard near a luxury hotel on
Indonesia's resort island of Bali on Friday, and then escaped into
nearby bushes following the deadly attack, police and a hotel employee
who witnessed the incident said.
The incident happened around 3 a.m. as the 4.5-meter-long python was
slithering across a road near the Bali Hyatt hotel, said Agung Bawa, an
assistant security manager at the hotel, which is closed for renovations
until 2015.
The victim, Ambar Arianto Mulyo, was a 59-year-old security guard at a nearby restaurant.
He had offered to help capture the snake, which had apparently been
spotted several times before near the hotel, located in Bali's Sanur
area, Bawa said.
It’s rather
appalling that no matter how much noise that’s made about security
consciousness, a lot of people would still fall victims in certain
circumstances. This particular incident is quite heart rending. It’s a
story of a young female undergrad of the Ebonyin State University who
was lured by an alleged occultist to have a swell time at his hotel
lobby after a friend’s party, and no sooner had they gotten to his suite
than he transmuted into a giant python and swallowed her up.
