A candlelight vigil for the victims of the mass shooting. The suspected gunman was identified as Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old local man who was found dead after officers stormed his room, where they recovered 17 guns. A brother of the suspect living in central Florida, Eric Paddock, said he was dumbfounded. ‘He’s not an avid gun guy at all,’ the brother said. ‘The fact that he had those kind of weapons is just … he has no military background or anything like that.’

Mato Grosso, Brazil

A jaguar stalks and kills a yellow anaconda on the Cuiaba river. The cat spotted the snake resting on the riverbank and chased it into the shallow waters at the river’s edge. Anaconda kills by jaguars have only been observed on a handful of occasions and very few photographs are known to exist.
