Wow thanks for that! I remember on an old Disney amazon nature special that had a Black Jaguar taking a Caiman. I vaguely remember the cat drowned it (patiently) with one paw!
Re: ... jaguar predation on a caiman ...
WOW! That is so wild! I wish I was the photographer that got to experience that and take those photos! Unbelievable, and the jaguar looks fairly healthy and not desperate for a meal.... I wonder if this jaguar does this "often."
Re: ... jaguar predation on a caiman ...
I spent some time in that same area last year. All of the jaguars from that area are larger than the norm. Their prey is almost exclusively caiman and capybara according to the biologist at the site. I was able to see 3 jaguar in 2 days. Pretty spectacular area.
