In the wild natural world, the strong do not always hunt for delicious prey, but sometimes have to “scratch” to win.
A golden-bellied sand snake and a lizard are fighting fiercely.

“Both animals curled together with a fierce fighting spirit for survival. Therefore, at first glance I could not distinguish which animal was the hunter and which was the prey. The tug-of-war between the two reptiles was extremely dramatic, each determined to gain an advantage on his side,” DeLange said.

The iguana is an animal that looks fierce and ferocious, but is gentle on the inside. shy. Normally, whenever it hears a strange noise or another animal approaches, the lizard will find a way to hide immediately. However, when cornered, the iguana will become incredibly aggressive and ready to fight off other animals larger than it.

When attacked by a much longer snake, which is also a hunter of other animals, the lizard did not show weakness but also had many sharp “tit-for-tat” phases.

There was a time when it seemed possible to escape, but encountering a “tough” hunter caused the lizard to fail. After about 2 hours of fierce resistance, the lizard, exhausted from being squeezed by the snake for a long time, obediently became a meal for predators.
