This is the incredibly rare moment an African python was caught on camera trying to eat an entire wildebeest.

The massive snake looked like its eyes were bigger than its belly when it was discovered in the South African bush swallowing the massive meal.

It is thought to be the first time this behaviour has been caught on camera as the python – which can grow up to 16 foot – was believed to try for much smaller prey.

The gruesome encounter was photographed at the Welgevonden Game Reserve, South Africa, by manager Rudi Hulshof.
