When otters attack other species, they do so because they are highly territorial animals, and will lethally attack other species that invade their area. Independently, the otter might not be an opponent against an anaconda, but the strength of this animal is that it attacks in packs, and its attacks are so fierce and coordinated that they can kill anacondas and caimans. This species, which can measure up to 170 centimeters, is a very sociable animal that lives in family groups of up to ten individuals. The giant otter is the largest of the mustelid family. An ocelot may also hunt and eat young anacondas that are in a vulnerable position. Ocelots are opportunistic hunters and eat a variety of animals, including rodents, rabbits, young deer, birds, snakes, lizards, and fish.
#Anaconda snake skin
The main predator of the black caiman is man, who hunts it for its skin and meat, and in some cases the jaguar, which fights against the caiman, even tearing open its belly skin with its claws. The adult anaconda is not exactly part of the food chain of black caimans, but as it has been proven that large black caimans can even eat other caimans, they can also hunt and eat smaller anacondas. The black caiman is the largest predator in the Amazon ecosystem and is a nocturnal hunter, relying on its keen sense of sight and hearing to find food.īlack caimans usually feed on fish, turtles, lizards, and other caimans, including their own young. In a fight between a jaguar and an anaconda, the anaconda’s most dangerous tactic is constriction, so whenever a jaguar hunts an anaconda it will bite it and drag it out of the water where the anaconda’s mobility will be greatly reduced.Īt the same time, the jaguar will remain in movement avoiding falling into the anaconda’s constriction, this instead when it is out of the water, will roll up hiding its head, since it is its most vulnerable vital point, a single bite to the anaconda’s head and the game is over. The jaguar’s claws and jaws can easily cause lacerations to the snake’s skin, despite the large size of the anaconda, in fact, the jaguar’s bite is so powerful that it often hunts caimans. The jaguar has an advantage over the anaconda, since it is cold-blooded, when it is exhausted from fighting, it tends to calm down to recover its strength, that is where the jaguar can take advantage to cause serious injuries such as deep cuts and kill it. The jaguar, along with the anaconda, are the top predators of the Amazon, it is amazing to see a jaguar in action, all that strength, agility, and tenacity in a single predator. Can a man with a knife defeat an anaconda?.
