Can’t help wonder the next shot in the sequence if a croc grabbed a hold of this zebra?

I was kind of thinking the same thing.  Seems like when you watch this sort of stuff on Discovery channel or Animal Planet, there is evil in those bodies of water that pull in unsuspecting animals to their dealth.

After seeing this post I was consumed with video after video on YouTube. Mother nature and the wild is amazing, but man, some of this is brutal.  What a horrible way to go.

Sorry everyone.  When I posted that video above, I didn't know that posting the link would show the thumbnail.  I can't edit the post and sent the forum admin a message to remove or fix so just URL is showing as even the thumbnail is graphic.  

Sorry Bryan, I didn't mean to mess up your post!

You know what is interesting here?  The lines on the zebra, and then you have the reflection right below.  Creative capture.

James I was thinking the same thing.  The lines and reflection are super cool.  I was just watching a video from Bryan Peterson about reflections.  Not as interesting as this one.  OP - how far are you from this zebra?

Great image, Bryan .  Like how some of the reflections are almost seamless with the actual beast .

That flag on your profile, are you from New Zealand?  Do you all have Zebras running around in the wild there?  Or maybe I'm thinking of Australia?  Dang, geography wasn't my strong point!

Thanks I feel the zebra lines defiantly add another dimension to a plain reflection. I have one with the head up and water dropping from it which looks nice too but not as much of a complete reflection
