Jaguars v Cayman's death filmed in Brazil.

2065438+On September 26th, 2007, in Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil, a jaguar ambushed a huge Ya careca Man in the highlands of Ilmouth, Rio Tres. Chris Brunskill Ltd/Getty) In Pantanal, Brazil, a caiman that looks like a crocodile became a jaguar's lunch, and a wildlife photographer recorded every terrible moment.

Chris Brunskill, a British wildlife philosopher, took photos of nearly 50gb of jaguar caiman fighting, and finally the big cat dragged its prey into the dense forest along the Rio de Janeiro river. Although caimans seem to be more suitable for hunting than hunting, they are a common food for Brazilian jaguars (Panthera onca). However, for young jaguars, this is an ambitious goal. Brunskill wrote on his Facebook page that it was the largest jacare caiman he had ever seen on a river bank called Pant *** in the swamp.

After a long struggle, she bit the back of the head of this giant reptile with a jaguar, and then dragged her huge body for more than 20 minutes, crossing an open beach, covered with a thick layer. [See photo of Jaguar and Caiman fighting]

Jaguars are bone-gnawing hunters and the only remaining leopard species found in the New World. Most of them live in South America and southern Central America, although occasionally vagrants sneak into southern Arizona. This species once spread all over the southwestern United States, but it was trapped and shot to make way for pasture and other human activities.

Located in Pante, a huge tropical wetland, mainly located in mato grosso do sul, Brazil, jaguars are still tracking their prey. According to the report of IUCN (1996) cat expert group, they eat at least 85 different species.

Cayman is one of them. According to the crocodile in the reserve, Yakare or Yakare and Cayman are common species in Pantanal. Adults are 8.2 to 9.8 feet (2.5 to 3 meters) long. Jaguars may have evolved specifically to prey on prey like Cayman: according to the report of the World Conservation Union, their thick jaws, strong skulls and unique tendency to kill people by biting the skulls of prey may enable jaguars to prey on well-armored reptiles like caimans and turtles.

Carnivores are paired with other jaguar favorite foods, including deer, gazelles and capybara, which are the largest rodents in the world. In fact, the jaguar captured in Bruce Kiel's photo attacked a group of capybara several times before pouncing on the caiman, he wrote. Earlier, on a trip to this area, Brunskill photographed another jaguar following the capybara on the riverbank, and the third big cat jumped into the water from the riverbank, trying to catch a caiman, but failed.

Brunskill photographed the struggle between caiman and jaguar, including the photos that made headlines on 20 14. Caiman, for them, it seems that they seldom kill jaguars. According to crocodiles, they prefer less cunning prey, including fish, snakes and snails.
