How does the jaguar attack the capybara

The capybara is the largest rodent in the world, reaching up to 1.3 m in length and 60 cm in height and weighing from 30 kg to 80 kg. They are semi-aquatic animals, which use water to feed themselves, reproduce, move around, escape from predators, and, in addition, to regulate their body temperature. Capybaras can be preyed on by different animals, such as jaguars, ocelots, snakes and alligators. Jaguars are felines that are at the top of the food chain and they prey on all kinds of animals, from dangerous animals like alligators to not so dangerous animals like armadillos. But you don't just think that jaguars are an animal at the top of the food chain - and that they can kill dangerous animals like alligators that preying on a capybara will be easy for this big cat. Capybaras are stressed animals and any sign of danger this rodent will run in retreat, preferably towards the rivers, and once in the river, the jaguar simply has no chance of capturing a capybara, since capybaras are very agile inside the water. water. So to capture this large rodent, the jaguar tries to take it by surprise and apply a bite to its neck as quickly as possible, not to give the capybara time to react since it can also bite the jaguar. After being slaughtered, the jaguar takes the body of the capybara to a safe place and there it enjoys the meal.
