Ep 4. Human Prey

In Naked and Afraid XL season 2 episode 4, titled "Human Prey," the 12 survivalists are entering their 19th day in the Colombian jungle. With their supplies running low, they must find food sources to sustain themselves. In addition to foraging, the group plans to hunt a wild turkey that has been spotted in the area.

One of the survivalists, Alana, comes up with a unique idea to catch the turkey. She suggests building a trap using a stick attached to a rope and a pile of leaves. The turkey would step on the stick, causing the rope to pull and trap the bird under the leaves. The group is skeptical but decides to give it a try.

Meanwhile, the group is also dealing with another challenge - a predator is stalking them. They find fresh tracks and believe it is a jaguar. One of the women, Dani Beau, has had a close encounter with a jaguar before and is understandably scared. The group decides to set up a watch system at night to keep an eye out for the predator.

As the group splits up to search for food, Alana and her partner Dani Julien come across a water source. However, it is also home to caimans, a type of crocodile. Alana suggests using bait and fishing lines to catch the caimans, but the others are hesitant to try since it can be dangerous. Alana and Dani Julien decide to take matters into their own hands and attempt to catch a caiman. It is a risky move, but they are successful in catching one.

Back at camp, the group decides to cook the caiman using a traditional Colombian recipe. They cut the meat into small pieces and cook it over an open fire. While some of the group members are hesitant to eat it, others are willing to try the unique dish.

Later that night, the group is on high alert due to the jaguar. Suddenly, they hear rustling in the bushes and believe the jaguar has arrived. The entire group is on edge, but it turns out to be a false alarm - it was just a group member returning to camp.

As the episode comes to a close, the group is feeling the effects of living in such harsh conditions for an extended period of time. They are physically and emotionally drained, but must continue to push through if they want to survive.

Overall, "Human Prey" is a tense and dramatic episode of Naked and Afraid XL. The survivalists are facing both natural and man-made challenges, and the threat of the jaguar adds an extra layer of danger. Watching the group attempt to catch the caiman is both fascinating and nerve-wracking, and the scenes of them cooking and eating the meat are sure to make viewers cringe. Despite the hardships they face, the survivalists continue to work together and support one another, making for a truly compelling episode.
