Photographer Jacob Hall was in coastal Texas when he snapped images of a great blue heron flying from the edge of the water at Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.
It wasn’t until after he took the photos that he realized what had just happened.
A bobcat, which had been hiding in the bushes by the shore had leaped wildly onto the heron, taking it down with it into the water.

Here we see the heron taking off, unsuspecting.

The second image show the giant leap that the bobcat took, latching onto the heron.
