The snake is considered the second largest on the planet and is also known as the anaconda. The jaguar is the third largest feline in the world. The match ended without a winner, but the scenes went viral and attracted attention.

In a video posted on Branco’s Instagram, a jaguar appears on the banks of a river, and as he walks through the water, he comes face to face with an anaconda. The struggle for survival shows the charm of the animal world.

The jaguar attacks the anaconda, catches it in its mouth and shakes it from side to side. For a few moments, the anaconda escapes from the claws of the jaguar, but then it finds itself between the teeth of the feline, which also holds it in the water with its paws. The fight ends without a winner.

“A female jaguar was looking for prey on the banks of the Tres Irmouche, an anaconda descends from nowhere, she goes to the anaconda and starts a fight, but this time the anaconda manages to escape the jaguar,” the guide wrote.

Jaguar teaching a cub

Recently, a rancher caught a mother jaguar killing an anaconda to teach her cub to hunt last Saturday (28) at the Pantanal, in Mato Grosso do Sul.

The animal jumped into the Pikiri River and got out with a four-meter anaconda in its mouth. Clayson Ataide, who was fishing on a boat with his father, stopped to see the scene, took his cell phone and filmed a symbolic sequence.
