In Brazil, an anaconda had a nasty shock when it tried to prey upon a caiman. Anacondas, like boas, wrap themselves around their victims and squeeze them to death. This 9ft-long caiman, however, fought back. The photographer reported that the pair stayed locked in battle for an hour, after which they went their separate ways – both realising, perhaps, that they’d bitten off more than they could chew.

Every time I hear Anaconda, I hear Lumpy Space Princess singing "oh my glob. Look at my lumps" and I just break into laughter because I hear it so vividly.
