Wildlife photographer captures moment snake swallows lizard whole

It's not often you get to see a snake swallowing a lizard, but photographer Nicolas Cegalerba got some beautiful shots of just that. From The Daily Mail:

These incredible photos capture the stomach-churning moment a snake sneaks up on a lizard and swallows it whole. The white-spotted cat snake, measuring about 1.8m in length, spent around half an hour consuming the lizard after slithering up on it as it slept. The chameleon forest dragon, also known as a Javan humphead lizard, usually sleeps at the ends of branches which makes it an easy target for predatory snakes. The unlucky reptile, which was around 25cm long, was resting on a branch 3m off the ground in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park in South Sumatra, Indonesia.
