A giant anaconda killed a caiman in its “embrace” (5 photos + 1 video)

An eerie sight was filmed in the Amazon jungle: a giant anaconda killed a caiman in its “deadly embrace.” Here it is, the cruel and merciless side of nature in all its glory: even a jungle predator can become someone's prey.





Tourists filmed a frightening scene in the Amazon rainforest, Brazil. A huge anaconda squeezed a caiman, a small crocodile, in its famous “deadly embrace.” The footage shows the poor caiman thrashing its tail, trying to escape its unforgiving grip, but all its attempts to escape are in vain. At this time, the snake looks calm and looks menacingly at the author of the video.

“Nature is unpredictable. One day you are a predator, and the next you are prey,” they wrote under the video.



Commentators on the video noted that a strange sound could be heard in the background - perhaps the young caiman was making a "signal calling its parents for help." Another viewer noted that at the end of the video you can hear the caiman's bones breaking. In any case, this is an unpleasant but natural part of the laws of nature.



Anaconda is the most massive snake in the world. Their length can reach as much as 5 meters. It is not poisonous, and kills its victims by “embracing” and subsequent squeezing, from which it is almost impossible for the animal to break free. And caimans are small crocodiles. All types of caimans reach a length of only 1.5-2 meters, and weigh approximately from 6 to 40 kg.
