    Not what I would call a good picture.
    Obviously its a set up, put a frog and a mouse in the same tank, and film the consequences.

    The photographer should be ashamed.

    Yep seen it.

    What goes on in natural habitat doesn't bother me, just dont like the idea of some lame brain human setting things up just to get a good picture.

    Must admit, Pete, the original photo looked a bit 'set up' but maybe someone was there waiting ... like some do for butterflies and bees and the like which I have no patience to do. Agree with you, nature is nature, but what a critter that is and I don't fancy encountering one .... s00k

    You wouldn't encounter one very often Vicky, they spend most of the year buried in mud and only surface in the rainy season to mate. It's a very sensationalist pic typical of a Tabloid.
