Tegu eaten by Anaconda on Aminal Planet
Jeff Corwin was capturing Anacondas last night. He found one that was eating a tegu, poor thing. It didn't look like any of the ones available here, but from what I hear there are many species of tegu that exist in the wild but aren't available in the pet market. Explaining what a tegu was, they showed a few clips of a tegu in a tree and said that because the tegu spends most of its life on the ground burrowing, its susceptible to attacks from snakes such as the anaconda. In case anyone was wondering what the habitat was like. It was a wide open grassy, kind of flood plain that looked very much like the swamps and rivers here in Florida. Oh, and FYI, he pronounced it taygoo, just like the way I usually hear it.
