Top Shot: A Mouth Full

Top Shot features the photo with the most votes from the previous day’s Daily Dozen, 12 photos chosen by the Your Shot editors from thousands of recent uploads. Our community votes for their favorite photo from the selection, and the Top Shot is showcased on the @natgeoyourshot Instagram account.

“This anhinga appears to grab more than a mouth full in its attempts to swallow a crappie,” writes Your Shot photographer Mark Hainen. “After about 20 minutes it finally succeeded.” Anhingas eat their food whole; swallowing fish head first so that the spines lay flat as they swallow.
