A rare and dramatic scene was captured in a natural park, where a large monitor lizard was seen attacking a male peacock with its colorful feathers fully displayed. The predator appears to have grabbed the bird by the neck, while the peacock struggles to fight back.

In the background, a deer stands frozen, watching the intense moment from a distance as if stunned by what is happening.

The incident is believed to have taken place in an open environment where different species roam freely — but where survival instincts rule above all else
