A wildlife photographer was in the right place at the right time for what he calls a “one-in-a-trillion photograph” that shows the food chain in action; prey eats prey eats prey.
It was just another day on the job for wildlife photographer Doc Jon, as he captured a stunning photo of an osprey carrying what appeared at first to be a fish in its talons. But when he took a closer look, Doc realized he just shot an incredibly timely photo.
