WATCH | Mongoose swings from snake

Latest Sightings reports that Delia Bronkhorst, a 35-year-old Specialised Clerk & Document Controller came across a mongoose swinging from a snake on her way back to Shingwedzi camp in the Kruger National Park.

Everyone enjoys a bit of time on a swing every now and then. Seems this mongoose was a thrill-seeking one too. Nothing like burning off the calories before the meal has even begun… Kruger accommodation specials here: http://bit.ly/Vacationdeals Delia Bronkhorst (35 year old, Specialised Clerk & Document Controller) told Latestsightings.com: “Heading back to Shingwedzi camp after our drive from Red Rocks, we stopped to watch a huge herd of buffalo coming down to the river to drink. While watching the beautiful scene, something caught my eye on the opposite side of the road. At first we thought it was a squirrel, but driving closer we saw it was a mongoose killing a snake.

The mongoose eventually got the snake down, unfortunately, the grass was too high for us to see the mongoose enjoy its well-deserved meal. My mom was in the car with me, and because of the buffalo sighting there were quite a few cars passing by, but not a whole lot of people seemed that interested, except for two other vehicles who also seemed to enjoy the mongoose and snake sighting. I never realized these little mongooses can be so fierce – I definitely have huge respect for them. This funny footage was taken in the Kruger National Park, on the 2km road leading to Shingwedzi camp.

Latest Sightings reports that Delia Bronkhorst, a 35-year-old specialised clerk & document controller came across a mongoose swinging from a snake on her way back to Shingwedzi camp in the Kruger National Park.

"I never realised these little mongooses can be so fierce – I definitely have huge respect for them," Bronkhorst said. 

Eventually the mongoose managed to get its snaky snack down, but unfortunately the grass was too long for her to get footage of it enjoying its meal.

According to Broknhorst other cars passed the mongoose vs snake battle - seemingly more interested in some nearby buffalo.
