In the early morning of 4th January 2010, I was tracking the chimpanzees. On that day the chimps were spread out in the forest because of food shortages at this time of the year. The chimps were so quiet and I could not hear them calling. I tried to walk to different areas of the forest, and when I got to Kijanga road near LOS, I saw a squirrel up a tree screaming loudly and tail raised it jumped to another branch.
When I tried to look carefully up a tree I saw a snake lying on a branch with its head raised looking at the squirrel. After a minute the snake tried to move to another branch and the squirrel jumped in front of the snake, and the snake stopped and tried to raise its head again and catch the squirrel, but the squirrel was fast enough to jump to another branch, and I could see the snake panicking and trying to chase the squirrel up a tree, and when the snake stopped the squirrel stopped as well and keep on screaming. The whole event took about fifteen minutes and after that everyone took its way.
