This is the reticulated python, the longest snake in the world. They can grow up to 23 feet in length. As with all pythons, they are non-venemous constrictors. This one was stalking a group of black crested macaque monkeys in Tangkoko National Park in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/8 at 1/80th of a second

“Awesome” is an understated word to describe this image, Sean!
Thanks Sue. I only wish I could have gotten a shot of the monkeys as they cautiously watched the python slithering through the grass.
Natures’ urgency
Felines eye of tangerine
Seeks a fatal hug
What do those eyes see?
Wow – that could be the serpent from the Garden of Eden!
