Egretta thula and Rana grylio
I witnessed an epic battle between the Snowy Egret and Pig Frog. The Egret had the Frog in its throat at least three times and due to the fight of the Frog had to bring it back up and dip it in water to wet it up and lubricate it more. Eventually despite the frog jamming its back feet in either side of the mouth of the Egret it lost the battle and was lunch!

I always feel so blessed when I encounter a situation like this as it is pure luck that I am there at that moment!
