Elephant in Tsavo East photographed using an IR camera

An elephant appears to be walking on snow covered grasslands on Christmas Eve at the Tsavo East National Park in Kenya.

Using a specially converted infrared camera to capture light which is invisible to human eyes, the snowy effect on the grass and trees in the background, is a result of the reflection of infrared light by plants during photosynthesis.

Some animals which are believed to see in the invisible infrared range, could quite possibly be seeing the world as it is in this photograph.

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.
