Wordless Wednesday is a simple blog post featuring a photo. It seeks to convey a message, but speaks for itself without using words. Mrs P photographed this grisly encounter between two iguanas in Costa Rica in January 2014.

Luckily Mrs P was in the right place at the right time, with camera in hand (having said that, her camera’s always in hand! 🙂 )

Grisly indeed – and interesting. Apparently cannibalism is a thing with iguanas although rare.

Wow, that was quite a catch – for both Mrs P and the bigger iguana. (But not so good for the little one…)

That’s an amazing moment to witness–and photograph.
Isn’t it too bad that someone has to die so that someone else may live?

Definitely a case of right time, right place, right photographer (Mrs P, not me obviously!).
There is a phrase we sometimes use here – “Nature, red in tooth and claw” – that could almost be a caption for this photo, albeit that there’s no blood or claws or teeth on show! The phrase in question is the work of the famous 19th century English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. I’d wager that the noble lord never saw even one iguana, let alone two, during his 83 years on this planet of ours, but he clearly understood how Nature works. Ouch!

Ouch, indeed. I wager that many humans who observe the ways of Nature can’t help but feel regret about her workings.
Mrs. P definitely seized the moment–or pushed the trigger.
