Guillermo del Toro is back with Pantanal Rim - Jaguar vs Caiman

I found this footage from National Geographic photographer Paul Donahue which is really awesome - you guys should definitely take a look! Watching the jaguar's muscles ripple as it stalks along the bank is quite something. This action actually takes place over more than half an hour - just imagine the patience. I really hope someone picks the jaguar for their presentation soon - the ferocity and speed and control is just breathtaking. It made me sit back and think when I realised that this is really quite everyday; animals exist to hunt and eat. Couldn't embed the video, but it's HERE. Here are some stills as teasers, but the video really captures the setup and the velocity of the attack:

On the Prowl - Mick Jaguar stalks towards the caiman on an opposite sandbar

All Wet - Jaguars are good swimmers and regularly prey on fish, turtles and well, caimans.

Attack - Mick Jaguar has a damaged right eye. The caiman weighs about 54 kilos, according to the photograher.

Ready for the Kill - Jaguars are ambush killers: unlike most big cats they bite or strike the neck rather than choke

Fatal Bite - The jaguar has been incredibly precise since caimans don't have much of a neck; he's gone for the skull

Speedy End - Mick carries off his prize, just seconds after he left the water. The caiman has stopped struggling.
