Snake VS Fish
Transcript
00:00At the Kanha National Park in India, a tourist was lucky to record a rare scene in nature, a surprising confrontation between a fish and a snake.
00:08At first glance, everyone thinks that the snake has caught the fish and is pulling it to the rocks.
00:13But when you look closer, everything is upside down.
00:15It's not the snake that's catching the fish, it's the fish that's pinching the snake's head.
00:19The snake is struggling with half of its head stuck in the fish's mouth.
00:22It's trying to shake its body hard to get out of the dangerous bite.
00:25But the fish, which is a special fish, is extremely strong.
00:29With thousands of small, sharp teeth and the ability to use oxygen directly from the air,
00:34it has enough strength and time to fight to the death.
00:37In this tense situation, the confrontation is only a matter of uncertainty.
00:41Suddenly, a third person appears, breaking the balance.
00:44It's another snake, described as an old man in this story.
00:48It silently gave up, biting the tail of the fish, intending to kill it with a death roll.
00:53But maybe because of too much enthusiasm or a wrong calculation,
00:56it hit the wrong fish of its kind.
00:58The snake is being pinched by the fish.
01:00Two snakes, one roll, one bite,
01:02creating a chaotic scene that is no different from an action movie,
01:05with the catfish being dragged in the middle of the battle.
01:08Finally, the second snake seems to give up and give up the battle.
01:12Meanwhile, the first snake is still holding on,
01:14not stopping shaking the body of the catfish.
01:16Some people joke that if the snake just jumped into the water right from the start,
01:20everything would be much easier.
01:21According to the story of the filmmaker, after a dramatic fight,
01:25both the catfish and the two snakes fell into the water.
01:27The final result was unexpected.
01:29No one won.
01:31All three were separated and just gone,
01:33returning to their own lives in the wild.
01:36This battle not only shows the intensity of nature,
01:38but also a source of inspiration for the surprise and wonder of the animal world.
01:42Moments like this remind us of the beauty of the wilderness
01:45and the balance in nature,
01:47where even the weakest species can create a miracle.
01:50In the humid tropical forests of Southeast Asia,
01:53the catfish, the world's longest catfish,
01:55is a terrifying predator,
01:57with overwhelming strength and perseverance.
01:59Adult catfish can be more than 9 meters long,
02:02which is the secret of many animals,
02:04even humans.
02:06They are not afraid to confront the strongest creatures,
02:09becoming a symbol of danger and strength.
02:11The local people clearly understand the threat from this species.
02:15According to a study in the 20th century,
02:16in some areas of Southeast Asia,
02:18more than a quarter of men have been attacked by catfish,
02:21and at least 6 people have died in confrontation with this species.
02:25Most of the victims were not attacked
02:27when they accidentally entered the catfish breeding area,
02:29where they patiently ambushed, waiting for the right time.
02:32With perfect camouflage,
02:33the catfish easily hide under the leaves of the forest.
02:36The color of the skin is in harmony with the soil and grass,
02:38helping it look almost invisible in the eyes of the prey.
02:41A Malaysian dog,
02:42known for its sharp claws and strong teeth,
02:45was slowly hanging down from a tree to look for food.
02:48It did not notice that the catfish was hanging down nearby.
02:51The catfish also noticed a group of wild goats
02:53looking for food in the bush.
02:56Although it has no ears to hear,
02:57it uses sensitive lips with infrared,
03:00can feel the smallest temperature change from a distance of 3 to 4.5 meters.
03:04This is the ultimate weapon,
03:06helping it to approach the catfish in a silent way.
03:08When the time of the catfish was ripe,
03:09the catfish suddenly came,
03:11quickly wrapped a wild goat.
03:13Studies have shown that
03:14the strength of the catfish is enough to make the heart of the catfish stop beating,
03:17making it unable to resist,
03:19only looking for food.
03:20After the catfish laid its mouth,
03:21the catfish began to swallow its meal.
03:23This can take up to 1 hour,
03:26and the catfish needs 2 weeks to digest all the food.
03:28Although the catfish sometimes attacks humans,
03:31these cases are very rare.
03:33On the contrary, humans are the biggest threat to them.
03:36Heavy prey to skin and meat
03:38makes the number of catfish decrease significantly.
03:40In some cases, when threatened,
03:42the catfish is forced to swallow food
03:44to increase mobility and avoid danger.
03:46A catfish had to give up its meal
03:48when it was approached by humans.
03:50For it, survival is more important than a feast.
03:53The catfish is not only a terrifying predator,
03:55but also a symbol of the wilderness,
03:57a place of strength and survival instinct.
03:59However, this species is facing many risks from humans.
04:03We need to understand that
04:04protecting their lives
04:05is also protecting the balance of the Southeast Asian ecosystem.
