 Serval vs Cheetah Mom
Quote:
 
On 12 April, we observed unique encounter – Nashipai's cubs have been attacked by a Serval cat. Nashipai was lying aside in the shade of a tree, while cubs were playing around the tree trunk. The serval appeard from the West and started stalking playing cubs. Nasipai was keeping an eye on the cat, and was not considering it as a danger. Once the serval jumped towards the cubs, cubs ran in different directions, and Nashipai ran towards the intruder. Serval ran away, jumping high in a tall grass, and cubs joined around their mother.

 I must say I am very much impressed by the durability of lizards. This poor thing didn't have a tail, lost an eye, was grasped and stabbed multiple times by a more powerful predator than itself that being the martial eagle, and yet still survived making the eagle want to give up. http://safaritalk.net/topic/13677-martial-vs-monitor/ Fantastic capture.

 Kingfisher v snake
"Photographer Nitin Jain was admiring the wildlife when he caught sight of the kingfisher struggling under water in an incredible inter-species battle
Posted Image
A kingfisher with its eyes on an easy meal bit off a little more than it could chew.
The hungry bird plucked a snake from the water - but was stunned as the reptile fought back and grabbed it around the neck.
Nature's dramatic sequence was captured by amateur photographer Nitin Jain, 38.
Posted Image
He was admiring the wildlife when he caught sight of the kingfisher struggling under water.
Nitin said: "Suddenly the kingfisher appeared from the water. I was shocked to see it was clashing with a snake."
Posted Image
During the battle, which lasted around a minute, the ferocious snake, which Nitin believes to be a Keelback, can be seen thrashing out of the water.
It grabs the kingfisher around the neck, dunking it back under the water multiple times.
Posted Image
The struggle seemingly proved too much for the kingfisher as it was pulled under water by the snake, when suddenly the kingfisher used all it's energy to free itself from the snakes grasp and fly away in a dramatic escape.
Fleeing to a nearby tree, the kingfisher remained still for the next two hours, taking time to recover from his shock battle.

Actually it's some kind of olive snail. They like to eat other mollusk, dress like a snail, get eaten by a snail.
