(55,006 posts)I suppose if he messed up with a big spiny lizards it might bite him, but it sure isn't the same as what that cat risks if he misses his kill.

(1,639 posts)I thought that the gator/croc (?) would turn the tables once that cat got back into the water. I figured that the water was the gator's "turf" and that it might do that roll and drown its victim thing.
One way or another, it was kind of awesome. At least, in this struggle, it was easier to choose a side. I instinctively side with mammals in nature conflicts. It's particularly hard when a wolf goes after a rabbit. The rabbit is cute, but the wolf cubs need to eat.

(9,580 posts)The cat was the hunter. So did the croc become the hunter and drown the cat, who became the hunted? I'm confused. Looks the the hunter ate the fucking croc. AIR?

(17,294 posts)The croc is a hunter by nature and they're rarely prey, ergo the title. It can be confusing if you do enough mental gymnastics. This is the Lounge. Probably best to save the scrutiny for General Discussion or the Primary group.

|]My son sent this to us a few years back and knew exactly where to find the original film that was apparently clipped and dubbed. What a hack and a fraud. He fits in well with DT and his minions. The episode occurred in Brazil between a Jaguar and a caiman.

But it's still amazing footage, even if it belongs to National Geographic.
