Rolling & Crush (Just watch this video and listen the sound)

[Godspeed]

My baby Guyana Caiman Lizard (Dracaena guianensis) rolls and crushes an aquatic snail in the mouth



^0^

Lol. Poor baby is trying so hard to eat this snail . I'm surprised he doesn't want to go for the turtles ( scratching on their tank ). Hope that snail isn't to big for him.

No no, Caiman Lizard eat with this way from the baies to Adults
It's one of unique charactoristic for them
They roll and cruch a shell each by each in the mouth and sip the snail inside only
Very interesting, isn't it?

That is so cool. I didn't know that. I thought they eat the hole thing. Thank you for letting me know . See now I just learned something new .

This is such a perfect shot showing how he eats! And with the sound, you really get a sense of the power in his little jaws. I have stepped on one of those snails before and it didn't crush under my full weight!
