Thanks to its sharp beak, a small red squid emerged victorious after an epic hour-long battle with a much bigger owlfish, all caught on video last November in Monterey Bay, Calif. The black-eyed squid paralyzed the owlfish by cutting through the fish's backbone, according to Bruce Robinson, a senior scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Robinson narrates a video of the fight between invertebrate and vertebrate, captured by MBARI's remotely operate vehicle Doc Ricketts on Nov. 11, 2013. The Doc Ricketts discovered the struggling marine creatures at about 1,475 feet (450 meters) below Monterey Bay as the vehicle was rising toward the surface, said Susan von Thun, an MBARI senior research technician. Scientists watched the scene play out for 50 minutes before the ROV had to continue its journey, Von Thun told LiveScience. "They were sinking rapidly the whole time, and we think that's part of [the squid's tactic," Von Thun said. "We see a lot of feeding events and often times the squid gets startled and lets go, but this guy held on for the whole time that we watched it." By the time the ROV left, the squid and owlfish had dropped to a depth of 1,970 feet (600 m), Von Thun said. An owlfish can flee a squid's grabby tentacles by shedding scales, slipping the grip, or by flicking their tails to dart out of reach, Robinson said in the video. But the squid in this video is hugging the owlfish too tight for escape. Slowly, the squid twisted the fish inside its tentacles, biting over and over until it finally subdued its prey. The squid also held its tentacles over the owlfish's gill slits, perhaps in an attempt to suffocate the fish. Dubbed owlfish by MBARI, the fish seen in the video is also known as a smelt, species Bathylagus, and is about 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 centimeters) long. The squid, a Gonatus onyx, is about 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12 cm) long. - See more at: http://www.livescience.com/42536-squid-versus-fish-video.html#sthash.yzzwDIeR.dpuf This is just fantastic, is incredibly similar to the raptor's prey riding... I'm sure this video is quite know here, but it still deserves a post in this thread:

Rita Denton had just stood up from quilting, about 3 p.m. on March 7, when something caught her eye. Outside the big bay window in the front of her house, she saw a deer jumping in the air and what she thought was a dog. “I thought, now whose dog is chasing deer?” she told the Courier. “And then I realized it wasn’t a dog. It was a coyote.” Denton called her husband Dale in from the next room and he thought she was joking. But it was happening – just 40 feet away from the house. The Dentons watched for 5-10 minutes as the coyote lunged at the deer and then the deer jumped back at the coyote. “Back and forth, back and forth, she (the deer) would jump at him and he would run off,” said Denton. “I think what she was trying to do was jump on him. She was really giving it back to him; she wasn’t giving up.” Denton said she was very concerned about the doe – she said she had seen a mother and fawn often on the lawn before this incident and assumes this was the same doe. “I knew she was really getting tired,” said Denton. “Her tongue was hanging out the side of her mouth and you could see her chest heaving.” Dale went out on the lawn and yelled at the coyote and it retreated a little ways into the woods but not far. The coyote had no fur on about a foot of its tail, a classic symptom of mange, which is a mite infection under the animals fur. Mange doesn’t necessarily make the animal act strangely but does put the animal under stress, especially in the cold. Dale went to leave to bring someone to the house with a firearm but his truck scared off the deer and the coyote. A friend who traps coyotes spent four hours in behind the Denton property and saw lots of fur where the coyote or coyotes have been eating a lot of rabbit – but otherwise no sign of either animal. The Dentons haven’t seen the doe and fawn since, although their son, who lives just up the road, has a few extra deer on his lawn these days. Rita said she regularly hears coyotes howling in back of their property. Bob Petrie, director of the wildlife branch with the Department of Natural Resources said he doesn’t see anything unusual in this predator—prey interaction. “Coyotes are on the look out for a food source like any other animal,” he told the Courier by phone. “This one happened to occur in range of a camera which makes for some very interesting photos, but I expect this is something that is happening every day in the woods.” He also didn’t find it unusual that it would happen so near a house. “Once a coyote finds a deer or possible food source, it will pursue it where ever it goes,” he said. Petrie said the coyote exhibited normal coyote behaviour when it retreated from Dale. “Where we would be concerned was when a coyote exhibits signs of habituation, or lacking fear of people,” he said. http://www.capebretonpost.com/section/2014-03-14/article-3649736/Coyote-attacks-deer-on-front-lawn-in-Digby-County/1

Remarkable images were captured on film yesterday of Xpl-10 and the Floodplain lionesses (Xpl-55 & Xpl-69) hunting an adult giraffe. The images, which are similar to an event captured on 20 May 2009 when Xpl-10 also hunted a giraffe and Xpl-55 & 69 were 2-years old, will be released at a later date. - Cannot wait to see this capture.
