As she was just about to gain elevation from the launch, searching for a new feeding spot, little did she know a pair of preying eyes had been intensely shadowing her every little movement from a nearby tree. A golden window of opportunity finally opened up for the hungry and cold juvenile Red-tailed hawk, who had been hunting to no avail since the break of dawn. Not wasting such an opportunity, the young raptor simply seized the ill-fated female bufflehead in the mid-air without much struggle. It took over three hours for the hawk to devour its fresh catch. Such an adrenaline rush and gruesome scene to witness, yet this is just another typical rule of the wildlife..

This image is call ‘Monkey Business’ and was taken in Dublin Zoo in 2009. These guys are called Sulawesi Macaque’s or are often referred to as Celebes Crested Macaque. Unfortunately they are currently listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to hunting and the clearing of their native habitat, sometimes even taken when very young as pets by the local population.
