A colourful land planarian slides along the forest floor on a bed of slime, its eversible stomach ready to engulf any soft-bodied prey it might come across:

Amazing as always Paul!

And only a Macro shooter could be low enough to get THAT angle on the Jaguar! I'd be pissing myself with that walking by!
