Secretary Bird Killing a 'Snake' (GIF)

The speed at which this bird kicked the living daylights out of a rubber snake and the sound of the hits was amazing.

I hope the GIF upload works for you!

The GIF worked! Wow! Glad to hear it's just a rubber snake. I wondered if you had them around the park like that.

[Esther Rosenberg]

What a great bird. Nice capture.

I was wondering if that was a real snake in the other picture. They must be even more amazing when it's the real thing.

[Mags]

Wow! I probably need one of those around here. Great capture.

[Lin]

Wow - at first glance, you wouldn't think he could do that with those thin legs!

A great GIF. At first ai was sad for the beautiful snake and so relieved to hear it is only rubber!

I'd love to see one of these in the wild, less keen on seeing a snake though!

Glad gif working
