Description
A feisty Brazos Dwarf Crawdad takes on two Aztec Rails... for about 10 seconds 😉
The Brazos Dwarf Crayfish reaches a maximum size of 3 cm (1.5 inches). This is a freshwater crayfish native to Texas. It inhabits ditches with standing water with lots of plants and will burrow when the habitat becomes dry. It can live 1.5-2 years when not taking on Rails.
The Aztec Rail is found in highland freshwater marshes in central Mexico, from southern Nayarit, Jalisco, Guanajuato and southern San Luis Potosi, south to Guerrero, Morelos and Puebla. It is a "Near Threatened" species with about 15,000 birds left and a declining population trend. It is threatended by habitat degradation and destruction.
This rail loves crustaceans (especially crayfish), as well as mollusks, aquatic and terrestrial insects.
