an equal and brutal battle between lizards and snakes
snakes and lizards are the most diverse and thriving reptiles found in the world today these
two species are identified by the scaly skin and the way they breathe despite being related to each
other between snakes and lizards there are always cruel battles that lead to the death of many
since both snakes and lizards are reptiles they tend to be found in the same geographical
locations for instance both bask under the sun to warm their bodies confrontation can lead to wars
in the video a black cobra and the monitor lizard encounter each other
the cobra was provocative and attacked first but it has no legs
so the lizard quickly became the victor
snakes are carnivorous reptiles they are found on every continent except antarctica
their size varies from the very small under 10 centimeters in length to the very large
anacondas can reach up to 4.5 meters long
most of them are non-venomous and others have venom used mainly to kill and subdue prey
lizards are the common name for a group of large-scale reptiles
comprising about 3 800 species like i said they have scaly skin
the snake and the lizard may have other similarities
however they can be easily distinguished and their most noticeable difference is their appearance
snakes have no legs while lizards have four legs
the snake moves with the help of abdominal scales while the lizard moves on its legs
almost all snakes can consume lizards
this is because most snakes are opportunistic feeders
while it is true that most prefer warm-blooded animals
they will not back down when given a chance to consume lizards
one of the snakes that will readily feed on lizards is the water snake
these snakes live near water bodies and thus have developed a taste for
cold-blooded animals such as fish and frogs
the snake we are seeing is the golden tree snake
a species of the water snake family it was trying to strangle and eat the monitor lizard
despite trying their best to fight back the lizard eventually failed and paid the price with its life
the snake begins the process of swallowing the prey
contrary to popular belief
these snakes venture out on land and climb trees in search of prey
they will feed on virtually anything that comes their way
including lizards they are non-venomous and kill prey by constriction
however the battles between snakes and lizards are no ordinary prey predator battles
sometimes we will see a snake being eaten by a lizard
with 40 lizard families there is an extremely wide range of color appearance and size of lizards
almost all lizards are carnivorous
meaning they eat animals although most are so small that insects are their primary prey
sometimes the lizard's prey is snakes
even venomous snakes
an extremely venomous rattlesnake becomes useless when it becomes a giant lizard's target
the lizard broke the snake's bones before swallowing it whole
however smaller lizards can be eaten by snakes
the poor list was badly injured but still managed to escape
unfortunately the nibble snake grabs its prey and then devours it
to avenge its fellow a water monitor approached and ate a small snake
the lizard grabbed the snake and ate the poor little snake alive
lizards and snakes cannot live together peacefully they are ready to attack and
eat each other at any opportunity depending on the body size snake solicits can be predators or prey
the world of reptiles is very confusing and maybe we shouldn't try to ascribe any
type of emotion to them just let them happen in their natural way
what do you think about lizards are they dominant over snakes because they have four legs
