Pretty Look at Unpretty Nature
Photographer David Maitland captured this shot of a tree-frog and a cat-eyed tree-snake going at it (not in the good way) in the forests of Belize. The battle allegedly lasted for hours. For the pic, Maitland won a category in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit, winners chosen by BBC Wildlife and London’s Natural History Museum. More here. (Via VSL.)

That made me laugh out loud.

Every time I start to think that I'm a reasonably good photographer, something like this comes along, making me realize that I'm really not very good at all.
(And great minds think alike, eh?)
Who won?
Yeah, how the heck did it end???
OK, OK, I found this on nationalgeographic.com:
U.K.-based David Maitland observed from midnight to 3 a.m. as a rare Morelet's tree frog doggedly refused to become supper for a cat-eyed snake--and still didn't see the conclusion.
"I would love to have seen them go their separate ways, but I was exhausted," the photographer said.
kick his ass snakey!!
Sorry. I just frind frogs dull and not cute at all, but ssssssnakes are sssssexeh.
So, as I said KICK HIS AAAAAAAAAASS SNAKEY!
