29 Of The Most Impressive Shots From The “inFocus” Nature Photography Of The Year 2022 Contest
#29 “A Full Meal”, Winner, Animal Behaviour

These marine serpents are surrounded by their prey, but in a world of coral reefs, rock crevices, and quick maneuvers, to make an actual catch requires additional skills. Sea snakes are highly venomous and let their bite do most of the work. Here, a Striped Sea Snake latches onto its catch, making for rare documentation of the reptile in action in the open sea.
