Usually the jaguar has the upper hand when attacking a capybara. But judging by the video showing the animals’ lives, it’s not always a hunter’s day. The scene is a river in the Pantanal, in Mato Grosso do Sul. The main attraction is nature, another day of struggle for survival. The record is incredible.

In it, a large animal wanders around, watching a capybara standing to the side. There is dense vegetation between the two animals, but the distance is not very large. The jaguar waits patiently for the right moment to attack.

Onsa was fast, but…

In turn, the capybara steps suspiciously, as it senses that there is danger around it. Interestingly, at some point another capybara appears swimming. The alligator can still be seen in the right corner of the video at the time of the attack. Nature is well represented.

Suddenly, the jaguar rushes at the capybara with lightning speed. But the prey was attentive and managed to be even faster. Within milliseconds, he reaches the water and manages to evade the cat. The capybara is quite mobile in the aquatic environment.

After the attack, you may hear another noise. It was a capybara that had recovered from its fright and emitted its characteristic whistle. It seems that she took the opportunity to mock the jaguar after the failed attack. The animal also plays with danger.
