My sister found a spider with its food in her room and came in screaming! not that she was scared but for me. Now i took this shot with a heavy fear of spiders and a 55mm. I was very much to close for comfort. Almost peed my pants.

During a trip to Center Parcs, Longleat, I was lucky enough to photograph the bird keepers and their brilliant birds. This little fella' may look cute, but he is a deadly predator with infra-red vision for hunting rodents.
The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus), is an electric fish, and the only species of the genus Electrophorus. It is capable of generating powerful electric shocks, which it uses for both hunting and self-defense. It is an apex predator in its South American range. Despite its name it is not an eel but rather a knifefish.
Electric eels have an elongated, cylindrical body, typically growing to about 2 m (6 feet) in length, and 20 kg (45 pounds) in weight, making them the largest species of the gymnotiformes. The coloration is dark gray-brown on the back and yellow or orange on the belly. Mature males have a darker color on the belly. They have no scales. The mouth is square, and positioned right at the end of the snout. The anal fin extends the length of the body to the tip of the tail. As in other ostariophysan fishes, the swim bladder has two chambers. The anterior chamber is connected to the inner ear by a series of small bones derived from neck vertebrae called the Weberian apparatus which greatly enhances their hearing capability. The posterior chamber extends along the whole length of the body and is used in buoyancy. Electrophorus has a well-developed sense of hearing. Electric eels have a vascularized respiratory organ in their oral cavity (Albert, 2001). These fish are obligate air-breathers; rising to the surface every 10 minutes or so, the animal will gulp air before returning to the bottom. Nearly 80% of the oxygen used by the fish is taken in this way.
Despite its name, the electric eel is not closely related to true eels (Anguilliformes) but is a member of the Neotropical knifefishes (Gymnotiformes), more closely related to catfishes.
The electric eel has three abdominal pairs of organs that produce electricity: the Main organ, the Hunter's organ, and the Sachs organ. These organs make up four-fifths of its body, and are what give the electric eel the ability to generate two types of electric organ discharges (EODs), low voltage and high voltage. These organs are made of electrocytes, lined up so that the current flows through them and produces an electrical charge. When the eel locates its prey, the brain sends a signal through the nervous system to the electric cells. This opens the ion channel, allowing positively-charged sodium to flow through, reversing the charges momentarily. By causing a sudden difference in voltage, it generates a current.
The electric eel generates its characteristic electrical pulse in a manner similar to a battery, in which stacked plates produce an electrical charge. In the electric eel, some 5,000 to 6,000 stacked electroplaques are capable of producing a shock at up to 500 volts and 1 ampere of current (500 watts). Such a shock could be deadly for an adult human. (Electrocution death is due to current flow; the level of current that is fatal in humans is roughly 0.75A.)
The Sachs organ is associated with electrolocation. Inside the organ are many muscle-like cells, called electrocytes. Each cell can only produce 0.15 V, though working together the organ transmits a signal of about 10 V in amplitude at around 25 Hz. These signals are what is emitted by the main organ and Hunter's organ that can be emitted at rates of several hundred Hz.
The electric eel is unique among the gymnotiformes in having large electric organs capable of producing lethal discharges that allows them to stun prey. There are reports of this fish producing larger voltages, but the typical output is sufficient to stun or deter virtually any other animal. Juveniles produce smaller voltages (about 100 volts). Electric eels are capable of varying the intensity of the electrical discharge, using lower discharges for "hunting" and higher intensities for stunning prey, or defending themselves. When agitated, it is capable of producing these intermittent electrical shocks over a period of at least an hour without signs of tiring.
The species is of some interest to researchers, who make use of its acetylcholinesterase and ATP.
The electric eel also possesses high-frequency–sensitive tuberous receptors patchily distributed over the body that seem useful for hunting other Gymnotiformes.
Electric eels have been widely used as a model in the study of bioelectrogenesis.
Electric eels live in fresh waters of the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers, the basins in South America, in river floodplains, swamps, creeks and coastal plains. They often live on muddy bottoms in calm water and in stagnant rivers.
Electric eels feed on invertebrates, although adult eels may also consume fish and small mammals. First-born hatchlings will even eat other eggs and embryos from later batches. The juveniles will eat invertebrates such as shrimp or crab.
The electric eel is also known for its unusual breeding behavior. In the dry season, a male eel makes a nest from his saliva into which the female lays her eggs. As many as 17,000 young will hatch from the eggs in one nest.

This is our first commuter bike equipped with rare Shimano Metrea groupset and that famous Predator's bio helmet was inspiration for this patina paint.
This is the newest addition to my arsenal of anti-Jerk Face weaponry. I bought some predator urine online - and because I wasn't sure which species would provide the best protection, I bought the Sampler Pack. So far, Mountain Lion pee (which is black, btw) doesn't seem to work. Next I'll try Bob Cat pee.

A Jagged Ambush Bug and a Northern Crab Spider, hanging out on a zinnia, both waiting for a meal to come along. I wish I had the time to sit and wait with them, as it would have been interesting to wee which predator got the first meal. Andover, NJ

At first, all I saw was the tiny bee on one of the small phlox blossoms...then I saw the tell-tale legs sticking out from under the bee. With a bit of gentle nudging, out she came - a fine looking female Northern Crab Spider.

Random people. Taken a while ago in a pub. I think the guy's hair makes him look like Predator from the movie, and the lass's smile isn't entirely human - the Alien!

Imagine my amazement seeing this American mink (Neovison vison) hunting for supper down on the shores of Lake Erie at Edgewater Beach. I have never seen a mink in Ohio. Earlier I saw a family of them and one of the adults came out of the rocks with prey, probably a rat.
The Predator is our run’n’gun stability kit for the Canon C100, C300 and C500*. The fixed LCD screen of the C100 camera particularly lends itself to this compact, simple kit. It is perfect for fast paced shoots and lightweight set ups.
The Predator starts with our Gorilla Baseplate. The rest of the framework attaches via a vertical post that connects to the underside of the plate via a quick-release ratcheting lever. A tripod plate can be installed under the Gorilla Baseplate via standard ¼ 20” and 3/8 16” screw holes. The Gorilla Plate has a 15mm port on the side to attach an accessory arm like the Standard Mount for our EVF. It also has two lightweight threaded rod ports on the front. You can add rods to hold a follow focus or mattebox.
The Predator includes an adjustable gunstock on a ball joint that can settle comfortably into the shooters chest to create a solid brace. The ‘handle’ portion of the Predator is ourC100/300 Grip Relocator. The Canon removable camera grip attaches directly to our Grip Relocator handle and our exclusive cable connects to the port on your camera. Once its plugged in, users have trigger or on/off control, lens aperture control, and a programmable function button that can be set to a number of things including waveform, 1 to 1 zoom, zebras, my menu, and many more. The cable is 24" long.
C100 Users: We recommend the Predator be used with our C100 Z-finder directly on the camera LCD. Our Z-finder will magnify the screen, cut out the light, and has a diopter to adjust for any eyesight issues. It also gives the user one more point of stability. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new product!
*The Predator can be used on the C500 but you must have a C100/C300 grip for this kit to work.

Lest we forget that the great blue heron is a fearsome predator - this duckling was slightly separated from its parents in the reeds and the heron spotted it from 3m away. The heron took a flying dive and snagged this unfortunate victim in a flash. The duckling was killed and disappeared headfirst down the heron's gullet in less than 10 seconds after this shot.
