Catch A Rare Glimpse of Wildlife Capturing Prey in High Detailed Slo Motion Videos

Animals use a variety of strategies to capture prey, some of which clearly kick ass (see the sniper-like archer fish, which spits at flies from underwater).

Here’s a gallery of some of nature’s finest prey-capture instant replays.
