The stunning moment of a battle between a stork and a four-metre long reptile was caught by Mark Sheridan Johnson, a photographer, who said: “I noticed the stork was playing with something in the water, it turned out to be the head of a tiger fish. Once the croc had the fish, the
stork realised the battle was lost, so decided to carry on fishing near the crocodile.

They know that as the croc moves along the shoreline of the lake, it will scare fish away from it, which the stork will catch. Similarly you’ll find different species of birds such as the yellow billed stork and the spoonbill hunting side-by-side. This is called a ‘twin hunting strategy’.”
