From owls to leopards hunting their nimble prey, it's tricky to spot these animals, from the UK to the US.
There's a photo of an owl protecting her nest in a tree, taken by delivery driver, Blake Hess, 47, from Colorado, US, who had been following this family of owls for five years.
And in another mind-boggling shot, a predator lurks in a tree as it makes its way towards its meal - a tasty impala hanging in the branches of a tall tree.
Meanwhile Lizard fanatic Dave Bagshaw, 34, keeps and breeds mossy leaf-tailed geckos at his home in Macclesfield, Cheshire.
The nocturnal species have a dermal flap, a frilly skirt of skin along the length of their bodies, which combined with their ability to change colour as they sleep on branches or trees, makes the creatures a master of disguise.
