In a video he posted, you can see a jaguar emerge from the grasses near the edge of a river. At first glance, it’s hard to know what brought the animal to the water’s edge until it pounces into the water and disappears. Moments later, it remerges with what appears to be a caiman, an animal related to alligators and crocodiles. In the end, the jaguar wins the fight.

According to Knobel, jaguars only have a 5% success rate at hunting, so they can spend days tracking their prey. Knowing this was a rare moment, Knobel simply commented, “One of the best moments ever” on his Instagram account.
