TANJUNG PASIR, INDONESIA: COULD this snail be the coolest hat ever? Pictures show how on close inspection it seems as though the slowest overtake has been captured on camera. In fact, this black and yellow predator seems none the wiser when a brave snail starts a ‘sluggish’ crawl straight over the top of its body. In this case slow and steady does in fact win the race. The encounter, which lasted a full two minutes, was snapped by graphic designer Kurit Afsheen (34) at Tanjung Pasir Crocodile Park, Indonesia using a macro lens.
