This picture was snapped by traveller Nick Kelly who caught the moment when a fish swam in front of a friend - creating the optical illusion a new species of 'fish man' had been discovered. Nick, from Los Angeles, says: "I was travelling around south east Asia and was staying on the island of Koh Tao in Thailand. I went snorkelling with a friend and took lots of pictures of the amazing sea life, but this was the best one. I didn't really notice until back on the beach but the fish had completely stolen the shot."

Lounging around a watering hole in the afternoon sun, this lioness was surprised by a 10ft tall, four ton bull elephant barging in. Arriving for his afternoon drink, the 15-year-old elephant was unaware of the lioness, who had been taking shelter under a tree. Caught between the water and the rapidly approaching elephant, the lioness had to act fast, for she would be no match for the elephant. She decided to bolt for safety, initially startling the elephant. However, the elephant chased the lioness briefly before he resumed his drink. British wildlife guide Mark Sheridan-Johnson, from Newcastle, captured the interaction during a tour in the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania.
