WAR OF THE JUNGLEDramatic moment a jaguar and a caiman fight to death captured in incredible pics

Wildlife photographer Chris Brunskill captured a brutal fight to the death involving a caiman and a jaguar

The big cat and reptile battled for 20 minutes in the Brazilian jungle in a rarely-captured scene
This battle happened on Tuesday on the Three Brothers River in Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Jaguars hunt the small to medium-sized crocodiles - but rarely is such a clash photographed.

Snapper Chris rushed to the area after he learned the majestic cat was spotted near Corixo de Camindo.

In a Facebook post, he wrote: "Over the next hour we followed the cat and watched at close range as she charged unsuccessfully on a small group of capybara.

"Moments later she was walking through an open stretch of water when she pounced on the biggest yacare caiman I have ever seen during all my time on the river in Pantanal.

"After a long struggle, she immobilised the giant reptile with the trademark jaguar bite to the back of the skull, and then dragged the huge carcass for over twenty minutes across an open beach into thick cover.
