Imagine being able to pick up a 6 to 8 foot(1.8 to 2.4m) cayman in your mouth and run away with it. For reference an adult jaguar can be 5 to 6 1/2 feet(1.5 to 1.9m) long.
Not just run away. Swim away. That was the craziest part to me. I would think the advantage would shift back to the cayman once they were both in the water but apparently not
The Cayman was already dead. That’s why the struggle is so short. Bite straight into the brain.
That’s how the cats do it, vulnerable neck point.
You’re an apex predator, chilling out in the sun, confident that nobody can fuck up with you, since you’re the one fucking up others, WHEN an apexer predator just happens to completely fuck you up. What a weird revelation it must be.
I kind of feel bad for the cayman. You can almost see him shouting “I don’t know anything, I swear!” As he’s being carried off to a secondary location.
You have a way with words, amazing.
Apex This!
To a cat, a gecko is a gecko….
TIL “Ousado” means bold.
And what a perfect demonstration of the term.
Is this caused by food availability/shifting environments?
Afaik, this is pretty standard Jag behaviour. Normally they’re jumping out of trees on them.
