According to The sun, the incident happened on the Three Brothers River in Mato Grosso, in the Brazilian rainforest. The terrifying battle between two notorious predators on the ground and in the water took place within 20 minutes.
Wildlife photographer Chris Brunskill promptly captured this entire one-on-one battle.
The photographer shared that his team watched the jaguar for an hour. Discovering a giant crocodile lying on the sand jutting up in the middle of the river, the male leopard quickly switched to a hunting position because it had previously lost another prey.
It crept closer to the crocodile as lightly as possible to avoid detection by its prey. When the distance between the two animals was shorter, the jaguar used all its speed to pounce on the crocodile. The crocodile discovered too slowly, it struggled but could not escape the sharp claws of the leopard.
The jaguar quickly bit his teeth into the head, puncturing the crocodile’s skull, making its prey can only struggle in despair.
“This jaguar is very good,” said Luke Dollar, co-director of the Big Cats Initiative with Chris Brunskill. “It must have bitten the crocodile’s skull. It was a worthy meal.”
