In the insect world, spiders that eat bats are common. Besides the Poles, spiders are found in every corner of the world, and some of them like to devour various bats. For example, in the photo above: in Japan's Oki Island, a dead bat is trapped in a spider's web.

Crocodiles eating capybaras is a contrast in size: a green crocodile of about 20 feet (6 meters) and a capybara weighing up to 200 pounds (90 kilograms) are entangled. Capybaras are the largest rodents in the world. This furry creature can weigh up to 100 pounds (45 kilograms). Fortunately, the crocodile's jaw did not bite into the capybara's skull; it could open its mouth and grab this huge rodent, then wrap it up and squeeze it to death. Every time the capybara exhaled, the crocodile squeezed it tighter, until it suffocated. According to a National Geographic video.

A poisonous snake mistakenly attacks a large centipede. Scientists believe that the centipede is desperately trying to bite the snake after being attacked by the snake, and the centipede's venom paralyzes the nerves, this snake may not survive.

Recently, in a seaside town in Devon, England, a Chihuahua dog was snatched by a large gull that suddenly flew into a resident's backyard. According to the dog's owner, the culprit is a large gull belonging to a gull. At that time, the owner Hill was just hanging out the freshly washed clothes in the backyard when a gull suddenly swooped down and grabbed the dog. In this way, the Chihuahua Gizmo was gone. The owner could only watch as the gull took the poor Gizmo, and the dog's fate was predictable: eaten by a gull.
