It's tough out there!

  For the most part these are photos submitted to the National Geographic by readers.  The photos are the story, they capture a part of nature some of us only think about.  One photo (LPGA) is just a good look at a tournament delay - but sort of an unusual one.

  Here is the photo of the Tournament delay.  It happened yesterday during the Australian Women's Open Golf Championship - but not while I was watching, I would have loved to see it live.

  Here are two Great Egrets fighting over a prime fishing spot.  We don't know who had it first.  They're hopping mad!

  This Alligator tried for a while to eat the turtle.  After a while he gave up, and the turtle walked away - a lucky break (no pun intended) for the shelled critter.

  Another alligator sneaks up on a Great Blue Heron which has caught a fish.  The Heron ate the fish and made it's escape.  Gators don't have much luck, today at least.
