A photographer has created a series of paw-traits of hungry dogs pulling hilarious faces as they try and catch treats.

“Sperm whale opening it's huge mouth, Ogasawara Islands, Japan. Sperm whales are the biggest carnivorous animals on the planet. Each teeth in the mouth of adult specimen weights more than 1 kilogram.
