This is the incredible moment an impala calf was hunted and caught by a python and then stolen by an opportunistic hyena.
Footage taken by Escape Safari Co. founder Mike Sutherland, 34, while on a private game drive in Mombo Camp, Okavango Delta, Botswana, shows the sighting.
In the footage, the impala lamb is seen writhing on the ground as the python grabs it.
The hyena then appears, clamping its jaws around the baby impala’s head as the python remains wrapped around the animal.
Then, the hyena grabs at the impala calf, and carries the two animals in its mouth.
The python slithers away to avoid having the same fate as the impala calf.
