Our neighbors: Lizard-lunching snake
Another specimen from Sungeh Buloh Wetlands. This is a series of three pictures, and the last one has the best quality. But I’ve inserted them in the order taken, to show you the progress of the snake’s lunch:
Quite a handsome green snake, and a nice yellow-bellied lizard. These leggy lizards are the ones I see in trees all the time here; their heads are often orange, so they’re quite lovely, and very fast. But I guess the snake was faster.
I guess the snake got a little freaked by the presence of the kids, and started to move its picnic out of the shelter. You can kind of see the snake’s jaws distended to get around the lizard’s shoulders in this one. Hard to take clear pictures because of the humidity in the air and the camera’s unpredictable focus. But below is the clearest shot:
Bon Appetite!
