Lei da natureza, se matasse a cobra seria injusto pq a gazela era alimentação dela e se ajudasse a gazela a fugir a cobra poderia até morrer de fome e desgasto, gastando energia pra caçar outras presas, a forma mais viável ai era matar essa gazela o mais rápido possível para acabar com sofrimento dela, em vez de ficar só filmando. Pelo menos no meu caso eu faria isso!
o pior animal ja feito foi a cobra mesmo que sensação horrivel eu tive quando olhei pra esser pobre animal sufocando morrendo agonizando e tem jente que se adimira ao ver isso tomara que um dia vcs venhm acampar e pegue um de vcs ou seus filhos *-*
Ambush is the answer. Snake hides in hole and waits (possibly for days). Tommie walks past, maybe grazing, and snake strikes real leg (very fast, since head only moves a few feet). Very effective strategy.
@DrSpenceI 29-53lbs sounds like the snake made the proper choice for his strike. I once saw a python manuver the horns into a position where he actually snapped them off before swallowing. Considering the animal has to manipulate a prey species with JUST it's body, these animals are a lot smarter ( where they need to be) than we give them credit.
What's the average weight of a male Thomson's gazelle?? Just wondering if the sanke realized he had polished off and animal a bit to large to swallow left the area??
Fortunately it was just a male gazelle. It would have been very very upsetting had it been a female to suffer such a tragic death. Do you have video of the vultures eating him? Not many people have seen vultures deal with an intact carcass.
@preyitem Sorry, I didn't explain that. Male tommies are often territorial and do not have the protection of a herd. They are very vulnerable to predation as a result. Some predators such as female cheetah specialize in hunting territorial males. With male tommies it's not if, but when, they will get eaten and by what.
Since one male can impregnate many females, males are a bit more "disposable" to the species. Females are far more important and don't meet such a violent end as often.
@kittdaviss12321 Don't shoot the messenger. Mother Nature doesn't play fair. The sooner you realize that the sooner you might understand your own role in the larger scheme of things.
WHAT IN HELP?? YOU IS STUPID! FUCKED YOU. poor gazelle ;-((

My question is, how un earth did a Rock Python catch one of the fastest animals on the earth? Was it sick or sleeping or something? Thanks.

Not always.. you see lions and tigers eating prey alive, and even worse are wild dogs and heyenas.

53 to 67 cm (21 to 26 in) tall and weigh 13 to 24 kg (29 to 53 lb) (females), 17 to 29 kg (37 to 64 lb) (males) (Wikipedia)
I don't think that the size of the "tommie" was the problem. My guess is that the horns were the deterrent.

An extrodinarily rare sighting. Great Video!

I didn't make a video of the vultures, hyena, and lions. I did take still photos. I have posted a sequence of the photos.

@Julie1962m Why would it be tragic/upsetting if it was a female Tommie, but not a male?
