These incredible pictures show a stork and eagle desperately battling over a fish.
The animals were pictured fighting over their potential dinner near Lake Tagalala in Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania.
A stunning set of images, which was captured by safari guide Mark Sheridan Johnson, shows the marabou stork approaching the fish eagle after realising he had managed to find a catfish carcass.
The stork instantly tries to steal the dinner and throws his wings up to scare the rival bird, who jumps straight in the air out of the stork’s way.
Eventually, the stork succeeds and manages to wrestle the carcass away from the hungry eagle.
Mr Johnson, 35, was attempting to use a camera attacked to a remote control boat when he spotted the fight. The camera later got demolished by a crocodile.
