Lion
Lions are probably the best killing machines in the world, and this shot of the stalking lioness explains why! A 200kg animal simply "disappears" from your eyes when it is about to hunt. The lioness in this shot was stalking a zebra that was grazing a few meters away. I don't know what finally happened since it was late afternoon when I took the shot and I was not allowed to stay any longer out in the bush!

Glowing Cuban Treefrog
National Wildlife Magazine Photo Contest 2009
Honorable Mention, Amateur Division, Backyard Habitats Category
At first I thought this frog was sitting on top of the light, so I got my camera and was taking pictures at a distance as to not spook him. After I looked at the first few pictures I realized it had actually swallowed the entire bulb. I then wrongly assumed that it was dead and did not worry about spooking him, so I got up close. After a few shots right in his face he repositioned himself showing he was indeed still alive. So I took a few more shots and then pulled the bulb out of his mouth and then took a few more shots like that. There are other good ones but I like the composition of this one the most.

Kayaker at Risk
In September 2005, Africa Geographic magazine published an article titled Shark Detectives, which examined great white sharks off the coast of South Africa. The article included a collection of photographs that show a kayaker’s experience with a great white shark. The caption for the photo reads: “Sitting in a 3.8 meter (12.5 foot) kayak and watching a 4 meter (13.1 foot) great white shark approach.” In the publication, the researchers described the tense situation. However, they had already tested the shark’s reaction to an empty kayak and observed no signs of aggression.
Over the years, a large collection of fake shark images have become viral over the Internet. Some good examples include the picture of a shark jumping out of the water at a military helicopter, the image of a hungry shark lurking behind divers, the photo of a large shark near a surfer (which is actually a dolphin), and more recently the picture of a shark in the streets of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Irene. In the Puerto Rico image, the shark was pulled from the kayaker photo.
Pink Dolphin
In June 2007, pictures of a pink albino bottlenose dolphin were captured in Calcasieu Lake, which is a brackish lake located in southwest Louisiana, United States. The pictures were taken by Captain Erik Rue of the Calcasieu Charter Service. According to marine biologist Dagmar Fertl, the event was only the third reported sighting of an albino bottlenose dolphin in the Gulf of Mexico and the fourteenth spotted anywhere in the world.
Gored Matador
Julio Aparicio is one of Spain’s most famous matadors. In 2010, he was performing at the Festival of Saint Isidro, which is considered the most important event in the bullfighting calendar. It is held at the Plaza de Toros las Ventas bullring in Madrid, Spain. During the event, Aparicio was gored in the face by a bull. The bull’s horn entered under Aparicio’s chin and came out his mouth. He was seriously injured in the event and had two surgeries in order to escape death. In 2010, the image quickly went viral.
