The runner-up in the “relationships in nature” category, this photo shows a fringe-lipped bat (T. cirrhosus) about to chow down on a túnagara frog (P. pustulosus). Male frogs of this species are thought to risk death by batwhen they send out their mating calls. Though they will stay quiet once they hear the fluttering of bat wings, the ripples they create in the water that they’re standing in while singing can still draw in a predator.
