The 400 kilos Black Caiman captured on Wednesday (22) died in the early hours of this Monday (27) in the river that cuts the municipality of Calçoene, 374 kilometers from Macapá. The information was confirmed by the acting superintendent of the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Resources (Ibama), Márcia Bueno. According to her, the cause of her death was most likely cause the animal did not resist the three shots it took during the capture one of them in the head. The official report of the death of the reptile comes out on Wednesday (29).

The environmental analyst at Ibama Mirella Vasconcelos believes that the animal approached the city because of the food supply in the stretch of river that cuts the city. For her, the fact that the city is a fishing pole makes it easier to dump carcasses and fish remains in the river.

ANOTHER BLACK CAIMAN IN THE AREA.

Another mobilization is being made in the city for the capture of a male Black Caiman that would have been seen by residents along with the imprisoned animal. The reports show that he would be larger than the captured female.

The Military Police Lieutenant Pedro Costa Silva said "For this new action, we are recommending that the residents avoid bathing in the river for the time being, because we cannot measure the level of aggressiveness of the male Black Caiman next to the (compared to) capture of his mate." warns the military.
