Vultures Eat a Giant Elephant

 

A large male elephant was found motionless on the ground in tsavo east national park near aruba dam. Surrounded by vultures it was evident that the giant elephant was no longer with us.

The wildlife medics were quickly dispatched to investigate the cause and were surprised to find a broken elephant tusk inside its skull. It seems there must have been an intense fight during the night of two elephant giants and the opponents tusk pierced this elephants head unfortunately ending its life instantly.

By morning there was a vulture feeding frenzy and hundreds of vultures were feeding on the elephant.

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.
