Giant anteater vs Jaguar... Not the ending you'd expect.

@Pckts :
About #77: What do we know about this big jaguar ? Perhaps he remembers that he had a misadventure with one of these giant anteaters able to inflict him a deep wound in two seconds... Perhaps, still satiated, the moment isn't to the fight. Perhaps, as the photographer did, the jaguar wanted only to watch one of these strange creatures a little bit more closely...
Nice sequence !
The giant anteater is a strange animal by the way... He could be spotted from a distance and gotten pretty close without being alarmed, and go away calmly. This self confident animal perfectly knows what he is able to do in a case of a bad encounter.

Giant anteaters can do a lot of damage with their powerful front claws

@AlexE :
About #81: impressive find ! Only the jaguar knows how to proceed with an anteaters, a disarmed man can't do anything and a pittbull really doesn't know what opponent the anteaters is... The land intelligence isn't it ?
RE: Jaguar Predation - epaiva - 03-19-2018
@AlexE
Very good information Giant anteaters normaly dont attack people, I have been very close to few of them like 5 times (about 3 meters) and they did not try to attack me, the time I went a little closer it standed on its hind legs waiting for me and yes I moved away from it fast because they can do a lot of damage like you saw in the pictures. Jaguar is their only predator, Pumas dont even try to attack them. Here in the Venezuelan Llanos they are very common you find them normally late afternoon.

In the southern Pantanal in Brazil anteaters make a small portion of a jaguars prey about 3 percent, but in the Cerrado, in central Brazil anteaters make up about 75 percent of the cats diet. Encounters can be very dangerous and Carvalho says it’s safe to assume that a jaguar would only attack by surprise or from behind and, that what happened in this video is the result of a surprise run in between the two species. He thinks that the two likely took a look at one another and then decided it wasn’t worth it and moved on, but there is no way to know for sure.

@epaiva I must say you are one the most luckiest member out of all the WildFact family here. You live in such a wildlife rich surrounding that most of us can only dream.

*Very similar to the account of Sumatran tiger and sun bear found dead together after similar fight.

Thanks for sharing the video, today I contacted the person that uploaded the video because it happened in Venezuela and I want to know the exact place. In Venezuela many people call Tigre the Jaguar.
It happened in Estado Cojedes where you find a good number of Jaguars, as can be seen the Jaguar did not eat the dog the dog was bothering the Jaguar and was killed very fast, there are a few places where dogs are part of their diet and a few times they are hunted in houses with people sleeping close to the dogs, it happened in Belize and Colombia.
