I’ll be honest, I had only heard about this event in full detail when I was informed about by my team leader when he rang me up to informed I would be one of the 2 guys covering the event. So I made a note of it in my planner and off I went yesterday morning.

Snake Attack at KL bird park

with 5 comments

This happened when I was at the bird park 30th August 2008 around noon.

I was wondering the bird park and was beginning to think it was time to head home when I was at the duck pond enclosure. I’ll be honest,it was pretty boring there, the ducks looked so plain and the waters were murky and dirty. I had hoped it was clear so I could play with reflection, the pond was separated into 2 halves. One half housed the flamingos while one half housed the ducks.

Each half was separated by a huge net, everyone else was at the far end of the flamingo side. I was on the duck pond side. There was a tourist couple there as well. It was still cloudy so everything appeared greyed out.

I had trained my lens on one of the ducks in the pond thinking I would take one more shot before going home when all of a sudden the duck tried to fly off but couldn’t and then the duck cried out in fright when out from the water  a brownish coil appeared to wrap around it rendering it immobile. It had been caught by a snake!
