That’s why huge snakes like that typically are hiding around trees, bushes, leaves and foliage…it provides camouflage and they can ambush their prey.

[@Tlhakxza]

It’s a regular sighting in the hills of Ballito which is in the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa 🇿🇦...there’s most likely a rocky ravine nearby where they hibernate/its habitat. This looks like a younging...it’s no strange to spot a giant 15/18/20m behemoth in these parts of KZN. You haven’t seen or heard the power of this thing until you see it constrict a fully fledged Bull(Cow) from 20m away or so, you literally feel and hear the bones of a cow snap and crackle when this thing is about to swallow its prey. Caveat: pyhthons are lightning fast,they have the quickest reflexes of any big snakes,especially when hungry,it takes a split second for a giant 20m to strike from 6/8/10m away...it’s worse when their intended target(humans) are on their side(outside their periphery) or behind,they are highly instinctive and strike with so much speed it’s unbelievable. I heard the sound of a child,though it’s very rare that they charge head on but if it so chose, it would go for that child with such velocity that no one would dare be able to stop it...that’s how quick this giant is,alas the video’s not doing those movements justice,witnessing this thing move in real life is a pretty sight to behold but devilishly scary😉 Visit KZN,Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces if and when you wanna see these babies in action. ✌🏿🇿🇦😉
