Half in Half out
INDONESIA HEART-STOPPING images of Viper swallowing a Green Grass lizard have been captured.
Pictures show the vibrant black and yellow coloured snake with jaws open, revealing its trapped prey attempting to claw its way out.
The Wagler's Pit Viper also known as the Temple Pit Viper is one of the most common pit vipers in Southeast Asia.
Although all pit vipers are venomous, the Wagler's Pit Viper is generally not considered to be aggressive.
The primary diet of these snakes consists of rodents, birds and lizards.
They are capable of detecting temperature differences of as little as 0.003 of a degree Celsius through their pits, one on each side of the head between the eye and the nostril.
These fascinating images were taken by Dzul Dzulfikri, a wildlife photographer from Indonesia.
“Although I was a little scared of capturing these images because I know these snakes are venomous and wanted to maintain a safe distance from them, I knew I may never come across such a moment so I had to take a picture of it,” he told mediadrumworld.com.
“I was about six feet away from the snake and took these snaps without making a lot of sound.
“I didn’t want to disturb the snake and ruin the moment.
“I used the OM System OM-1 Mark II camera with 90mm macro lens to take these pictures.”
