Fans of the BBC documentary couldn't get over the incredible strength of the big cat - and joked that a watching capybara was equally shocked
PLANET Earth II viewers were stunned tonight as a jaguar took on a gigantic caiman crocodile - and won.
Last week fans of the BBC nature show watched in horror as a majestic snow leopard 'raped' a helpless female.
This week big cats took centre stage again, with a 21 stone male jaguar attacking a giant caiman croc as it glided near the edge of the river.
As it dragged the open-mouthed reptile out of the water, narrator Sir David Attenborough explained the feline knows the "most vulnerable point" of the crocodile - the back of its skull.
While impressed by the cats hunting prowess, viewers recoiled in disgust as a loud 'crack' could be heard as the jaguar sank its teeth into the bone.
Several took to Twitter to express their admiration - and revulsion.
Elsewhere in the episode, a Wilsons Bird of Paradise showed off its iridescent emerald green plume in an attempt to woo its mate.
The elaborate display by the colourful creature, described by Attenborough as "the brightest leaf in the forest", took place on the forest floor.
The documentary recently came under fire after eagle-eyed fans spotted that avalanche footage was recycled from the original 2006 series.
