spotted hyena sends a very clear and concise message, relocating this python's munch while she hangs on for dear life.

Kleptoparasitism literally means parasitism via theft, and it is a popular means of resource acquisition in the wild.

The kleptoparasite in this instance is the hyena, who saw an opportunity to walk away with a free python-wrapped impala kill - a unique savannah delicacy.

Seeing as she is grossly outmatched, the python reluctantly abandons her catch and moves on, saving her own skin while in search of another opportunity to feed.
