Jaguar attacking a caiman
Jaguar attacking a Yacare Caiman in the Piquiri River, Pantanal, Brazil - 12 Oct 2014
This is the moment a starving jaguar desperately took on a caiman. Photographer Chris Brunskill captured the moment the elderly female jaguar attacked the reptile on its home turf in the Piquiri River in Brazil. Launching itself into the water, the big cat clamped its jaws around the caiman and a fast and furious struggle ensued. Ultimately, however, the confrontation ended with the jaguar going hungry as its prey wriggled free. Chris comments: "We found this old female Jaguar who was in very bad condition with several visible wounds on her stomach possibly caused by a fight with another Jaguar. She looked in desperate need of a meal and was actively hunting along the river bank when she grabbed this caiman right in front of my boat. There was a big splash and I took 5 pictures in about half a second before the caiman escaped from her grasp and disappeared from view".

Items available including cat scratching posts featuring the life-like faces of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un.
The Pussycat Riot, established by global VPN provider HideMyAss.com, have said they are calling on cat owners "to protest against regimes that deny their citizens the right to access websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter; which not only robs them of news, ideas, opinion and knowledge, but also prevents them from experiencing the innocent delights of online cat pictures and videos."

Swan nicknamed 'Asboy' attacks other animals, people and boats near River Cam, Cambridge, Britain - 14 Oct 2013
The son of vicious swan Mr Asbo has been attacking punters and birds on the River Cam in Cambridge - but was put in his place when he tried to take on a cow. The bird, who has been nicknamed Asboy, appears to be following in his father's footsteps by terrorising rowers and punters on the famous Backs in the university city. His dad, Mr Asbo, was moved to a secret location by the river authorities last year after he attacked numerous rowers, biting their arms and legs. Now residents fear he has been replaced by Asboy, who has moved upstream and is now targeting tourists in punts. Recently, tourists screamed in horror as they saw him viciously attack another swan, grabbing it by the neck with his beak. Asboy tried to drown the other swan, holding its neck under the water for about 15 seconds, then when it wriggled free he sat on it. The swan only escaped when its partner came to the rescue.

A vicious swan has been nicknamed 'Mr Asbo' after capsizing boats and attacking rowers on a city river. Rowers are now being warned to stay away from the bad-tempered bird, which has been snapping and hissing at rowers who get too near. The angry bird is part of a nesting pair and is very protective of his nest.

Buffalo survives attack by pride of lions, Tanzania, Africa - 08 Nov 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Scott K Macleod/REX (3686996o)
The Battle Of The Serengeti
This is the heart-stopping moment a buffalo engaged in a desperate struggle to survive after being attacked by a group of lions - and lived to tell the tale.
Photographer Scott MacLeod captured the moment the lions - not to mention scores of tourists in safari vehicles - ganged up on the lonesome buffalo in Tanzania.
Scott spotted the pride of 11 lions while on safari as the animals used the shade cast by his vehicle as a welcome respite from the heat of the day.
However, the predators were soon on the move when they spotted something of interest in the distance - a herd of tempting buffalo.
Scott comments: "The lions roused themselves and moved on towards a herd of buffalo in the distance.
"Two of the strongest females padded stealthily towards their prey as a third lion circled around behind. The other lions waited, and watched.
"After a 20-minute standoff, the largest buffalo made a run for it and was soon caught".
What ensued was an example of nature at its most vicious as the lions fought tooth and claw to bring the buffalo down.
Scott adds: "The lions tried to grapple the buffalo to the ground, clawing at its flanks and twisting its hind legs.
"With a lion clinging to its tail, the buffalo could not move without increasing its pain.
"Ignoring its pain, the buffalo charged at three of the younger lions, who were forced to scamper away.
"By now, more than a dozen safari vehicles had gathered. Perhaps mistaking us for its herd, the buffalo ran into our midst, and the battle continued on the road.
"One of the lions climbed onto the buffalo's back - clawing its flanks and biting its spine - while others chewed at its hind legs.
"With dozens of cameras recording its agony, the snorting and drooling buffalo seemed to give up. The lions padded around it, preparing ...

Protective Wildebeest Mother Leaves Leopard Licking Its Wounds After Failed Attack
This young wildebeest looked destined to become lunch for a hungry leopard - but the big cat hadn't counted on a powerfully protective mother.
These jaw-dropping shots show the predator stalking and then pouncing on the seemingly doomed six-month-old calf.
However, its nearby mother was well-placed to react quickly and counteracted with a precision horned-headbutt to the leopard's upper body.
In a blink of an eye, the stunned cat went from being the attacker to scampering off with its tail between its legs with the angry female in pursuit.
The stunning images were captured by Martin Farrell, 54, from Bristol, who was taking a Kicheche safari camp tour of the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya.
His wife Kathy, 58, a recently retired pharmacist, also managed to shoot a dramatic video of the encounter: http://bit.ly/1boNUZM
Kicheche guide Benjamin Kaluena, who spotted the cat and sensed that there may be action, said: "Leopard kills in daylight hours are incredibly rare but in over 5,000 game drives I have never seen anything like this!"
Kathy said: "We have done many safari but have never seen anything remotely like this and somehow Benjamin put us in the right place at the right time."
Kicheche camp co-owner and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein explains: "Martin and Kathy Farrell stopped to observe a sleeping leopard. It soon awoke and immediately started hunting.
"This was a big, fully adult male after a young wildebeest which, during migration will form a major part of its diet. However, having brought it down with a tackle any rugby wing forward would have been proud of, it was not prepared for the 'mother-lode' of anguish and protection the wildebeest mum threw at him.

Bald eagles aerial combat, Haines, Alaska, America - Nov 2012

Bald eagle attacking another eagle, this bird is almost an adult with few dark patches remaining in the head and tail areas
Fish Fight: Bald Eagles Clash Over Tasty Catch
A bald eagle is almost on its back as it rears up its talons against a swooping rival.
While two more of the predatory birds have a fierce high-speed battle in mid-air over tasty salmon.
These jaw-dropping shots of amazing battles between the birds of prey were captured last month by photographer Arash Hazeghi in Haines, Alaska.
He explains: "The eagles prey on salmon in shallow water by dragging them to the river bank. The locations where the river becomes shallow and narrow are best since most salmon seem to converge and then get stock in shallow waters.
"They will battle over salmon in mid-air at high-speed. The holder tries to fly as fast as they can to save the fish, the aggressor has to fly faster snatching the fish from behind and then dive below the holder."
Arash managed to get amazing shots of the birds aggressively swooping at each other.
"This is an interesting behaviour that happens in a split second when an incoming bald eagle buzzes another eagle that is standing on the ground.
"The attacking eagle extends his talons to hit the standing bird. The standing bird swings backward extending his talons to defend against the incoming bird. The defending eagle is in a completely inverted position."
He also observed the juvenile birds trying to take on their elders.
"The younger eagles have a few dark patches remaining in the head and tail areas. One tried to buzz the mature bird as he tried to claim his catch, but the mature eagle dodged the attack quickly."

Entries in the Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) photo competition - 15 Jun 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Chris Fallows / Rex Features (1740960m)
Birds Of A Feather Win Competitions Together
These stunning pictures of birds flying, feeding, fighting and foraging are all winning entries in a world bird photo competition.
The remarkable collection includes a cormorant diving with a shoal of fish, a Crested Honey-buzzard surrounded by bees and a vulture attacking a wolf.
The unique shots, which highlight the diversity of our planet's birds, were captured by patient photographers across the globe.
They submitted pictures of an incredible 3,000 different species from 128 countries to the first Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) photo contest.
The winning shots feature a flock of Red-Billed Quelea swarming round an elephant and a fluffy family of Tree Swallows sitting on a branch in a snow storm.
One picture shows a brightly-coloured Red-bearded Bee-eater flying home with food for her chicks, while another features a Corncrake preparing for lift-off.
A Red Grouse has been cleverly captured on camera foraging by British photographer Ron McCombe, while another picture shows Cape Gannet diving underwater for their dinner.
Two Calliope Hummingbirds are shown performing a mating display in another photo and a Helmet Vanga, found in the rainforests of Madagascar is seen peeking out of its nest in a picture by Brit Pete Morris.
"The members of the jury enjoyed their task very much, although it was quite difficult as I think several hundred of the photos received could have justifiably been awarded these prizes." said Josep del Hoyo, senior editor of the HBW series.
The HBW is a 16-volume encyclopedia which describes and illustrates for the first time every species of bird in the world.

A man has been jailed for five years for attacking his neighbour with a machete in a dispute over garden waste. Wayne Peckham was left with a fractured skull and head and hand injuries when he was attacked during a family barbecue last July by neighbour Paul Sanderson. Norwich Crown Court heard that the attack related to a row over a compost heap, with Sanderson accusing Mr Peckham of dumping grass cuttings at the edge of his garden. Sanderson attacked Mr Peckham with the machete in front of his horrified wife and their three children. He then fled fled as a police armed response team, helicopter and dog units rushed to the scene but gave himself up two days later. He later admitted assault causing grievous bodily harm.

Man attacks police then 'directs' traffic using a large meat cleaver, Zhongshan, Guangdong province, China - Feb 2010
DERANGED MAN 'DIRECTS' TRAFFIC WITH MEAT CLEAVER
A Chinese man has been detained after attacking police before 'directing' traffic using a large meat cleaver.
The anonymous man approached the traffic platform in Zhongshan in southern China's Guangdong province, which was policed by a number of officers, during the early morning rush.
As he came upon them the man produced a large meat style cleaver and threatened the officers, driving them away from their post.
The deranged man then took their place on the platform and began to direct the cars, gesturing wildly with the cleaver.
While doing so he also tried to change into a pair of old style military Chinese trousers.
However, he was hampered in his attempts to do so by the disposed traffic police who were trying to remove him from the platform.
Eventually, after a 30-minute stand-off they were forced to call riot police.
Even they, wearing helmets and wielding riot shields, found it difficult to subdue the man and it was a good ten minutes before they were able to pin him to the ground.
The man's identity has yet to be confirmed, but he is believed that he suffers from mental problems.

Wildebeest cheats certain death
Holiday maker captures snaps of crocodile attacking a wildebeest in the Masai Mara reserve, Kenya - 27 Jan 2010
Looking quite literally into the jaws of death, the future appeared bleak for this juvenile wildebeest.
As it crossed a crocodile-infested river with dozens of others in search of food it was picked off by one huge predator.
With its huge jaws wide open the large croc jumped out of the water to attack its hapless prey.
Luckily for the young wildebeest, the reptile mis-timed its jump by a fraction of a second and ended up with just a mouthful of water as it slid off the back of the hooved creature.
The wildebeest survived the scrape and managed to wade across to the other side of the Mara River in Kenya.
The stunning sequence of pictures was taken by British holidaymaker Austin Thomas.
Mr Thomas said: "You could say they are holiday snaps with a bit of bite!"
The 43-year-old was on a week-long break to Africa when he caught the natural encounter during an afternoon sat on the river bank with his camera.
The amateur photographer said: "I was watching this large group of zebras and wildebeest that had gathered on one side of the river for some time.
"It was obvious they wanted to cross but were biding their time. There were hundreds of them and about six or seven crocodiles in the river.
"Then as soon as one went they all went. After 30 seconds or so my attention was drawn to this young wildebeest that was at the back of the group and had become slightly separated.
"Then this crocodile came into view and I just kept my finger on the shutter after that.
"The crocodile came out of the water with its jaws wide open and it looked for all the world the wildebeest was heading straight into its mouth.
"But the wildebeest was going a bit faster that ...

With its huge jaws wide open the large croc jumped out of the water to attack its hapless prey.
Luckily for the young wildebeest, the reptile mis-timed its jump by a fraction of a second and ended up with just a mouthful of water as it slid off the back of the hooved creature.
The wildebeest survived the scrape and managed to wade across to the other side of the Mara River in Kenya.
The stunning sequence of pictures was taken by British holidaymaker Austin Thomas.
Mr Thomas said: "You could say they are holiday snaps with a bit of bite!"
The 43-year-old was on a week-long break to Africa when he caught the natural encounter during an afternoon sat on the river bank with his camera.
The amateur photographer said: "I was watching this large group of zebras and wildebeest that had gathered on one side of the river for some time.
"It was obvious they wanted to cross but were biding their time. There were hundreds of them and about six or seven crocodiles in the river.
"Then as soon as one went they all went. After 30 seconds or so my attention was drawn to this young wildebeest that was at the back of the group and had become slightly separated.
"Then this crocodile came into view and I just kept my finger on the shutter after that.
"The crocodile came out of the water with its jaws wide open and it looked for all the world the wildebeest was heading straight into its mouth.
"But the wildebeest was g...

A swan nicknamed 'Mr Asbo' who has been causing havac on the River Cam by attacking people on the river
Mr Asbo The Swan
MR ASBO THE SWAN
A vicious swan has been nicknamed Mr Asbo after capsizing boats and attacking rowers on a city river.
Rowers are now being warned to stay away from the bad-tempered bird which has been snapping and hissing at rowers, who get too near.
The fully-grown male even capsized one rower on the River Cam in Cambridge and attacked him with his beak while he was in the water.
"We have got a problem with a swan which has developed a very bad temper and taken on an attitude," said Colin Sparkes, foreman of the Cam Conservators, which looks after the river.
"Swans can be very territorial and aggressive and he obviously sees the rowers as a threat.
"He is part of a nesting pair and is very protective of his nest.
"Swans have very poor eye sight and lots of the boats are white so he is probably mistaking them for other swans."
The feathered fiend has now been nicknamed Mr Asbo by scared rowers, who have been avoiding the area near Ditton Corner where he is nesting.
Rower Alan Marron, who was attacked by the big bird, said: "The swan has become very dangerous.
"It flew around Ditton Corner to attack me in my single, causing me to capsize.
"The swan could not see me when it took off and I was moving away from Ditton and it landed on my rigger and attacked me with its beak.
"I was in the middle of the river, away from any banks or reeds so I could not have been threatening any nest.
"If the swan continues to be this aggressive, especially with more juniors on the river at the weekend, then there will be more cases like mine and there may be injuries."
Another rower, who did not want to be named, added: "It's really vicious. I'm...

Two terrorists brandishing AK-47s are filmed as they fire a hail of bullets at the Sri Lankan cricket team's coach during an ambush near the Gadaffi stadium in Lahore
Sri Lankan Cricket Team Coach Attacked by Terrorists in Lahore, Pakistan - 03 Mar 2009
The Sri Lankan Cricket team was attacked by terrorists today as they arrived for a match at the Gadaffi stadium in Lahore, Pakistan. Seven players and the team's British coach were injured in the attack, while six policemen and a bus driver were killed. As the team's bus negotiated a roundabout just 500m from the stadium, a group of heavily armed men launched a grenade at it and also tried to hit the vehicle with a rocket. When this failed they opened fire on the bus. A 15-minute gun battle ensued between the team's police bodyguards and the gunmen before all 12 attackers fled. The players then took refuge in their dressing room at the stadium before being evacuated by helicopter. Two of the team are reportedly being treated in hospital for injuries sustained in the attack. The match between the Sri Lankan and Pakistan teams would have been the first Test series to have been played in Pakistan for 14 months; others have been cancelled due to security fears.
