In Argentina, a boa constrictor was filmed while trying to suffocate a jaguarondi, an American feline cousin of the puma.
These images were taken while the wild cat was already suffocating while trying to free itself from the grip of the boa. He was finally rescued by the locals.
The incident occurred in the city of Las Lajitas, in Salta, in northwest Argentina. Two men indeed spotted these animals fighting in the middle of the road.
We can see the boa strengthening its grip as the jaguarondi tries to escape. Sole Rojas, the ranger who shared the video, said it took four people to free the animal. ” It’s always a risk, but locals know how to handle wild animals, and this boa is not poisonous. “.
Boa constrictor occidentalis is considered a threatened subspecies due to hunting for its skin and for the pet trade.
