The shocking video showing the moment a giant anaconda was attacked by a jaguar after falling from a tree is going viral on social media.
The impressive clip was recorded on May 24th on the banks of a river in the Pantanal of Brazil. In the footage, you can see the snake, which was hidden among the branches of a tree, while the big cat was sniffing the area.
As the video continues, you can see the exact moment when the anaconda loses its balance and falls from the tree in front of the jaguar. The predator, of course, wasted no time and immediately launched the attack.
Then, an intense struggle began between the animals. While the jaguar tried to immobilize the snake with a bite, the anaconda responded by wrapping itself around the feline to try and escape.
Luckily for the reptile, it managed to slip away from the attacks and flee, but the video ends before it’s clear whether there was a winner in this showdown between two major symbols of Brazilian wildlife.
