The award winning Planet Earth documentary has been going from strength to strength in its second season and on Sunday night the BBC were back at it again.

Viewers were left flabbergasted by a male jaguar, who Sir David Attenborough labelled the "killer of killers", and rightly so as the heavyweight cat wasted no time showing why it deserves that moniker.

Earlier in the episode viewers had seen a few female jaguars in Brazil competing for space alongside the river with cat fights ensuing.

But as the stealthy females tried and failed to sneak up and catch some prey that was playing on the water's edge, the solo male showed them how to do it.

There was no sneaking around for the male jaguar as he pounced across the land living up to his aggressive reputation and sought out his next victim.

With viewers unable to see anything apart from some floating debris on the water it was quite a shock when the jaguar jumped off a ridge and landed in the water with something green in its jaws.

At that point, Sir David cleared up the matter and said: "Jaguars have the most powerful bite of any cat, and he knows the caiman's most dangerous point, the back of its skull."

At that moment the sound of the crocodile's skull being crushed snapped on screen as viewers took to social media to share their amazement.

One person tweeted: "Oh my f**king god that jaguar just crushed a crocodile."

Another wrote: "The lion is not king of the jungle, the jaguar is and he just ate an enormous crocodile."
