If @epaiva says it's a jag then I'm sure it is, he's one of the most knowledgeable and experienced members we have here.

Black Caiman can grow huge, if Nile crocs can prey on Lions then without a doubt Black Caiman can prey on Jaguars. Even though Black Caiman are found in the Amazon I'd still wager on them being able to prey on Pantanal Jags as well, they can get that big and have a nasty reputation to back up the weapons.

Thanks a lot for your words my Friend, it would be very good if you can ask Paulo Barreiro if they have found skulls of Caiman jacare hunted by Jaguars so you can take good pictures of the marks left by the Jaguars on the Caiman's skulls. It would be great if you can take pictures and messurements of the largest skulls of big male Pantanal Jaguars they must have in their collection.

It was filmed in the Amazon of Brazil where Jaguars don't grow much normally weighting under 60  kilograms. It was a big Black Caiman at least 4 meters long

Left hindleg of that carcass seems to be in worse condition. If that jaguar has been swimming when attacked, it would be quite logical place for croc to bite and start rolling. But there are possible bite marks here and there. That big croc might be able to roll/drown so small jaguar even if biting to body, which would be very difficult/almost impossible with big one, imo. Do you know any of those people, who uploaded this footage in the first place? It would be interesting to know more about this case if possible.

You got it, I'll ask at dinner.
In regards to the Jag/Black Caiman account

Paulo brought up some good points just because the Jag was fairly intact he said that there is no way to know how the Jag ended up in the Caimans belly which is true but he definitely thinks it's possible.
He'll watch it tonight hopefully and let me know what he thinks, hopefully.

Btw, did your guide, Paulo, say anything more what he thinks about this black caiman case?

That was kind of funny :) When belly is so full, no-one wants to fight really. That might have been quite different situation if that crocodile would have been there some time earlier. I bet, that lion doesn´t care about bite forces, no matter what narrator thinks
