Wilde Jagd in BRASILIEN AUFREGENDE Bilder zeigen einen Kaiman-Alligator, der eine gelbe Anakonda wie eine Krawatte trägt. Die 1,2 Meter lange Anaconda hat die neun-Fo-Runde gedeckt
Wild hunt in BRAZIL THRILLING images show a caiman alligator wearing a yellow anaconda like a tie. The six-foot-long Anaconda covered the nine-foot caiman with its body in an attempt to prey upon the animal. It stayed that way for at least an hour at the meeting of the water, where the Amazon meets the Tapajos River in Brazil. The Yellow Anaconda (Eunectes notaeus) is a species of anaconda found in South America, primarily in countries like Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina. This species can reach impressive lengths, often averaging between nine to 12 feet, although some individuals can grow longer, reaching around 15 feet or more. Meanwhile, the caiman males (Caiman yacare) can grow to a total length (including tail) of six to nine feet and females to four feet. These jaw-dropping images were taken by a 29-year-old Brazilian wildlife photographer, Henrique Olsen. From a distance of over 80 feet, he took these images using a Nikon Z9 camera with Nikon Af-s Nikkor 300mm 1:2.8 D lens. ?It was an extraordinary experience to witness this behaviour between the anaconda and the caiman in their natural habitat, ? he said. ?It seemed evident that the anaconda was attempting to prey on the caiman despite the caiman's size proving to be too big for the snake. ?After a while, the caiman retreated into the water, and both animals separated. It appeared that the anaconda was left unsatisfied, possibly still hungry due to the unsuccessful attempt at predation. ?This encounter provided a glimpse into the natural instincts and predatory behaviours of these animals, showcasing the complexities of survival strategies and the challenges they face in securing their meals in the wild.?
