Imagine you were an animal for five minutes and you're happily walking around the Marakele National Park in South Africa when BAM... a snake kills your baby.
Then you have to just stand there and watch as this massive African rock python devours your little lamb in one massive fucking bite.
Incredibly, this rare sight was caught on camera by wildlife guide Michelle Sole who was alerted to the snake's dinner time by the impala's cries.

This is nature at its gruesome finest...
Apparently a meal that big could take weeks to digest for the snake and will make it vulnerable to predators during that period. However once all the hooves and horns are digested, the python may not need to feed again for another year.
Damn nature. Just damn.
