Dog Vs Lizard

I’m guessing dogs and lizards are not the best of friends and in this first video, we can see exactly why that is, as this dog circles this lizard trying to find a way to bite it. The lizard keeps his guard and swings his tail in the hopes of scaring off the dog, but the dog insists and wants to fight the lizard. Nothing much happens, except when the dog tries biting the lizard's tail. The lizard eventually heads for the taller grass where the dog slowly becomes less interested in the reptile. In our next video, the assailant is the lizard this time and it charges the dog on several occasions until they both go tumbling down the road after which the dog gets a firm grip on the lizard’s neck. The lizard manages to free itself, but it looks like it's injured.

A second dog joins the fight, and it looks to be the dog’s midget brother. The lizard fends them both off and it looks like it will be okay, for now. Next, this large lizard is surrounded by four dogs that bark a lot, but that’s about it. It seems like neither of the dogs has the guts to make the first move, so they just taunt the lizard and annoy it to the tilt. This next dog doesn’t waste any time and immediately bites this lizard in its mid-section repeatedly, to the point of cutting it. The lizard tries to fend off the attacks to the best of its abilities, but it looks like the dog has the ‘upper paw” in this one. Finally, these three dogs chase this monitor lizard, but they don’t accomplish much except for a little barking and running.

Bird Vs Praying Mantis

The Praying Mantis can be preyed upon by certain birds, but it’s never easy for a bird that tries to take on this murderous insect. Most people know how deadly the praying mantis is and I‘m thinking this little bird knows it too because as much as it flies back and forth, trying to find an angle to attack the killer insect, it never comes close enough for the mantis to deliver its fatal blow. In our next clip, this bird takes a few shots at the mantis, but the mantis stands its ground until a crazy lizard comes flying out of nowhere and attacks the mantis.

The bird realizes there is too much going on and decides to fly away. All the birds taking on the praying mantis hesitate and are not able to make the kill, just like this other bird, meddling around in mantis territory without accomplishing anything. However, this Northern Cardinal doesn’t waste any time and after a few pecks at this mantis, it snatches the mantis and flies home with its meal. I guess the mantis can’t win them all. Finally, another mantis bites the dust as this bird gives it a serious beating, but the mantis tries to resist no matter what.
