This isn't one of my favorite shots, but I thought it would be interesting to post.
A Great Blue Heron with a Siren (Giant Salamander) it caught. These giant Salamanders live in the mud in the Marsh in parts of South Florida.

Very nice and unusual photo! Very instructive too (I couldn't imagine such giant salamander in South Florida)

Thanks Cristobal, I don't think you'll find them too often.
