Jaguar duo snag anaconda

Lebanon-based photographer Michel Zoghzoghi was filming jaguars in Brazil when he saw an unexpected case of cross-species coordination. Two jaguars — a mother and her baby — stepped out of a nearby river carrying a large, spotted anaconda between their teeth. Because the snake's pattern closely matched the jaguars', Zoghzoghi titled this photo "Matching outfits." The photo was selected as a runner-up in the people's choice award category of the London Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest.
