Talk about grabbing a bite to eat… With perfect timing and an agility that belies its fearsome power, a Siberian tiger makes a mighty leap to grasp a guinea fowl in mid-air.
In a brief moment of freedom, the bird somehow manages to flutter away from the big cat’s claws. But its escape is only momentary – for there was only ever likely to be one winner in this deadly encounter.
These incredible images were captured at a Siberian tiger reserve in northern China by Russian wildlife photographer Andrey Gudkov.
He said: ‘These tigers were catching guinea fowl for their lunch. Siberian tigers are incredibly fast and have fantastic reflexes, which makes them exceptional predators. It was amazing to watch them plucking the birds out of the air.’
