Feline good! Man gets a tender morning cuddle from the fully-grown lion he rescued as a sickly cub

Rob and Marcela Wild wasted no time in calling in a professional after they discovered one of Africa’s most venomous snakes hiding between the tinsel and baubles at their home in South Africa on Friday.

This is the incredible moment a zebra is swallowed whole by a monster crocodile.

The shocking snap is one of 10 jaw-dropping scenes selected for a wildlife photography contest showcasing Kenya’s serene Maasai Mara savannahs.

The waters are stained red and the zebra appears to kick its hooves and waggle its head in a last desperate attempt to break free.
