Scott (left) discovered a visitor coming into our house during lunchtime.
The panga (machete) in his right hand was the major implement of destruction
for the unfortunate Egyptian cobra.
On the right is a better picture of both the cobra and the panga. Both of them
can be scary.
Here's another Scott and another dead snake. This Puff Adder was killed
by villagers on the road to Mwenifuvya. We thought we may have a use for
it.
Someone had the great idea that this adder would make a good meal.
Katherine took on the role of head chef and made a Puff Adder pasta sauce.
