Among the most unique wildlife photographs out there on the subject of lions feeding on their prey, this one has definitely got to be up there with some of those other rare finds.
This young elephant was hunted down by a different pride of lions at the Ngutuni Sanctuary in Tsavo East National Park and the lone huntress pictured above, homed into the scent of the kill and took some opportunistic bites while the main pride was away for a few hours searching for some water to drink. 

Wild Kenya Safaris usually offers its clients night game drives on special requests in this private game sanctuary. It is amazing to see some of the magnificent nocturnal mammals and reptiles that come out under the cover of darkness.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
