This was a surprise moment on the show. As a broadcaster who had decided to non-intrusively photograph the beauty of the pond. at the time, I had not thought I would ever witness something like this. How absolutely naive of me. As a matter of fact, I recall the very moment before I turned the camera to focus on this. I was concentrating on pretty dragonflies when I saw the bunny arrive and I had become acquainted with the bunny from previous mornings and I immediately turned the camera on him because, I thought, he was so adorable, that I even mentioned that to the audience at the very moment the snake snapped and coiled around this bunny.
I lost all professionalism at that moment and started to scream, as if I could stop what was already in progress. The snake wrapped around this bunny so tightly, so fast, the bunny never even had a chance of surviving it. It was quick, and although probably very painful. Nature made sure the suffering would not last long. As you can see, in less then a minute, the bunny is lifeless. Luckily I had turned off the microphone and almost stopped the camera, but I kept shooting for the show but turned away quite shaken by the sudden change of landscape and sharp feeling of loss.
