Into The Belly Of The Beast
Alligator is the name of this gator. Gar spotted a scaly predator approaching him and swam away as fast as he could—right into the teeth of another of his opponents! Another story about a photographer being at the right position at the right time. How likely are you to get this shot? Do those fish just happen to jump into alligators’ mouths on a daily basis? Well, maybe. Gars aren’t the sharpest creatures on the earth, after all.
RIP, Bumble Bee
This shot is both intriguing and beautiful, as well as terrible. You’ve probably heard that a bee dies if it stings you and loses its stinger. We’d heard it before, but never seen it so close up. This unhappy bee determined that today would be the day she died fighting. As she stings her opponent and runs, the stinger breaks her apart. Oh, you miserable bee! We’re devastated because we adore bees, and bees are essential to our ecosystem!
