Black and White Tegu; Chalk-Browed Mockingbird

Tupinambis merianae; Mimus saturninus

Description:

I saw a "Black and White Tegu" (or "Teiú", in Brazil) walking by the street so, I decided take some pictures. But, during this, some "Chalk-Browed Mockingbird " (or "Sabiá-do-Campo"/"Field-Sabiá", in Brazil) began to defend the territory from the "Tegu" with some attacking displays, until scare him away. In the end, the "Tegú" hid in a football field. I add a video of this action.

Habitat:

I found this specimens in a edge of a urban river, in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
