Editor's Note:
A toad quickly inhaled air and inflated to twice its size when it was grabbed by a wading bird. The hamerkop had to use its sharp beak to deflate the toad so as to sufficiently eat it. The primal struggle was captured by photographer Andreas Hembat at Zimanga Private Game Reserve in South Africa. (Photos: VCG)
