Default Sometimes life just gets up and bites you!

That's the headline in this news story: the pictures were taken by tourists - they sure got more than they bargained for:

Snap - crocodile eating another crocodile | News.com.au


So does the title bring any memories from you guys?

There is no such thing in the wild as compassion for your fellow croc. We had a photo go round here in Fl awhile back of a gator vs python. Seems the python ate the gator but got one hell of a stomach ache in the process.

Alka-Seltzer will not cure this

Wow, that's quite the capture. For the photographers it's all about being in the right place at the right time. For the smaller croc, not so much.

I've found out it's 95% being there at the right time and another 5% dumb luck!

Aw, Jim already posted the image I was thinking of when I saw the title of the news story. Well, here is the greatest predator/prey video I have ever seen:
