Lightning fast attack of hawks with South American dragons

In the video that cinematographers NatGeo filmed showed the scene of the South American dragon fighting with one of the most feared enemies, it was the hawk.

On the way to find bait, hawks suddenly saw the iguanas, also known as the American south dragon, lying on a high stone sunbathing. It hovered a few circles in the air and then fired the opportunity to attack the iguanas.

Luckily this time iguanas were one step faster than hawks. It ran quickly to the hidden stone recesses, avoiding the sharp footing of the hawks.

The hawks continue to watch over the others and wait for better opportunities. After about 3 times the hawk finally got prey for the meal.

South American dragons are distributed mainly in northern Mexico, South America, southern Brazil, Central America and the Caribbean Islands. They are quite large in size, often with spines on the spine (Horn) that look like a real dragon.

When hatched, a South American dragon only has a length of about one inch (25cm) and weighs 50 grams. After one year their size can be up to 1m. In the next 4 years, the maximum length of South American dragons is about 1.5 - 1.8m and weighs 5-8kg. On average, a South American dragon can live for 20 years.
