There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I'm not an active member of Woa nor am I going to be any time soon. Again, Caiman in the Panatanal can get to 100kg and 10' long, I've seen many in person that size. Caiman are very robust and the big ones can be very intimidating yet they all scatter to the water the minute the plants and high grass move.
The Jaguar is undoubtedly the ruler of that area, I'm not saying they can prey on a full grown Black Caiman but I'm certainly not saying they cannot take one of more modest size either. Like I've said, they are by far the most equipped Big Cat that preys on Crocodilians. The fact that they can hunt and kill large Caiman in deep water then drag them up steep sandy banks with little effort is a perfect example of their capabilities. To call them "overrated" is a Vs mentality that has no place in this discussion.
