Paws for a drink: A jaguar who decided to cool off with a drink from a Brazilian river came back with more than it bargained for as it picked up a crocodile for lunch. On the prowl: The moment the mighty 220lb cat took down a crocodile was been captured by an astonished passer-by. Caught in the act: Action shots by local Luiz Claudio show the Brazillian jaguar drinking at the water's edge before slinking across the water. Bingo: The jaguar is largely a solitary, opportunistic, stalk-and-ambush apex predator, but this time it is caught attacking the smaller predator before seemingly dragging it off to eat. Take-away: The powerful big cat wrestled with the juvenile croc in the water before taking control and biting the back of the crocodile's head, delivering the fatal blow. That's lunch: It proved its predatory prowess in the wild on this occasion with a blend of stealth and brute force.PHOTOS: MAIL ONLINE
