Black Caiman Vs Jaguar, clash of the Amazon’s top predators.
In this exceptional footage I recently received from presumably the Araguaia River in Brazil, an adolescent Black Caiman is attacked by a Jaguar.
While most of the combat was likely not recorded, we see the jaguar manages to drag the caiman to the shore, one thing to note is that the caiman does appear to be rather lethargic but this is possibly due to an extensive struggle with the Jaguar or it was just lethargic from a night of hunting, one of the two. The Caiman ends up breaking free of the neck bite and retaliates by slamming its head into the Jaguars face, heading into a defensive posture, with the fight now practically restarted, caiman prepared for defense and now humans in the vicinity, the Jaguar flees the scene.
