The neotropic cormorant can be seen struggling to swallow an armored catfish. Protected by bony plates and sharp dorsal and pectoral spines, this prey poses a serious risk. The bird must repeatedly manipulate the fish at the surface to achieve a precise head-first alignment, forcing the spines to fold backward.

Two tiger brothers play fight by splashing around in the water. The photos of the two-year-old tigers were taken by Kiyoshi Araki at the Hamamatsu City Zoo in Japan. Mr Araki, 68, said he travels from Nagoya, Japan, to the zoo twice a week to capture the 'fierce' big cats, who play like this almost every day.

A photographer is celebrating having capture on camera, not just one of the world’s rarest and most elusive big cats, but three of them. The snow leopards were pictured so closely together that they even gave the impression of one big cat with three heads when they were spotted in the Kharkhiraa Mountains, a remote subrange of the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia.
