Recently, an incredible series of photos captured the moment a python regurgitated an even larger python after swallowing a huge snake. These photos offer a rare insight into the fascinating world of snakes and their complex relationships with each other. The photos were taken by a group of wildlife enthusiasts who were exploring the Australian outback when they came across a large python. The snake had clearly just eaten a large…

Steʋe caught a perfectly symmetrical reflection in the lake below the bird as the magnificent eagle calʋa ʋola Ƅa towards him. “I definitely classify it as my main image and I had no idea how it turned out when I took it,” says Steʋe, who has been in the profession for more than 10 years and considers himself a dedicated hobbyist photographer. “It wasn’t until I reviewed my images and got closer to him that I realized how perfect he looked with him framed and looking at me like daggers.” Apparently Steʋe enjoyed taking the eagle picture, but Bruce the…

ARSENAL fans are convinced they have found the “future of the club” in youngster Ethan Nwaneri after he performed an outrageous skill. The teenage midfielder was even hailed as “better than Messi” following the Gunners’ friendly against Nurnberg on Thursday. Nwaneri featured during the pre-season contest as Arsenal played out a 1-1 draw in Germany. Bukayo Saka’s opener was cancelled out by a comedic Jorginho own goal to see the match end level. Despite the result, Nwaneri caught the eye with one particular piece of skill. After receiving the ball in his own half, the 16-year-old evaded two opposition players with a stunning turn. He then burst…

In a reмarkaƄle display of aniмal Ƅehaʋior, a giant python was attacked Ƅy a swarм of angry honey Ƅees after it daмaged their nest in a tree.

The world is a mean, dangerous place when you’re a slow-moving, soft-bodied beetle larva. Predators lurk just beyond the next leaf, parasitoid wasps want to use you as a living egg incubator and even the elements can drown or desiccate you. But for those who are resourceful, all that hardship breeds invention. In the leaf beetle family (Chrysomelidae), the larvae find (relative) safety under a protective shield of their own making … constructed with material that’s as abundant and as easily, er, expelled as they get: their own poop. ‘Faecal shields’ (that’s the scientific term and we’re sticking with it because it’s…

Here’s a reliable recipe for high-stakes tension in the Alaskan bush: one hungry bear mixed together with one protective mother moose, and – the key ingredient to tie it all together – a brace of dewy-eyed moose calves. Footage from this past May, recently uploaded online, shows this recipe in action. Apparently taken near Anchorage, Alaska, the minutes-long video shows a black bear do its darndest to snatch one of two little moose-lings, stymied at every turn by their ferociously defensive mama and making regular retreats up birch trees to avoid being pummeled: You can almost feel the black bear’s frustration:…

MANCHESTER UNITED fans are raving about academy starlet Noam Emeran after his performance against Leeds today. Emeran came on for United’s second half in Norway as manager Erik Ten Hag rotated his entire XI. And there was no doubt that he was the star of the second-half, as he inspired his side to a 2-0 victory. The 20-year-old Frenchman bagged a goal and an assist as a young United XI brushed aside a far more experienced Leeds team. Not only was Emeran productive but he showed promising glimpses of edge-of-the-seat technique – with some nice dribbles and flicks dotted throughout his second-half performance. And fans…

DAVID DE GEA tied the knot to glamorous bride Edurne – and the club who made him unemployed on his wedding day were among the first to congratulate him. But furious fans hit back at Manchester United and blasted them for “treating him terribly” and being “tone deaf” on social media. De Gea’s £375,000-a-week deal expired on Friday and he is now a free agent. But he has been sensationally asked not to join another club despite his contract being up at United. SunSport exclusively revealed on Sunday how the 32-year-old is a target for Cristiano Ronaldo’s club Al-Nassr as his United career hits breaking…
