With typical catlike inquisition she padded her way towards the python. She was not afraid, rather cocky and sure of herself, as if she just wanted to toy with the reptile for fun. Moving swiftly now, Vomba reached inside the thicket and sunk her claws into the pythons massive body. There was plenty of skin to grab as the snake reacted with fright to the sudden aggression and now found itself being dragged out into the open. Turning to face its aggressor, the serpentine head emerged to the left of Vomba ready to strike. With deadly accuracy and speed the python lunged forward to strike. It was not quick enough as Vombas lightning quick paw shot out and swatted the snake back down to the ground, dragging it further out the bush and into the clearing. The moment was brief as python and leopard became embroiled in a violent confrontation until Vomba leapt away as the python regained composure.
