My guests @love_fisi & @chui_traveler and I, were following this male jaguar, known as Juru, as it was patrolling the riverbanks in search for food. As Juru hit the head of the beach, he detected one of its prey and immediatelly pounced on the tall grass and dragged out an Yellow anaconda. The male jaguar subdued the giant reptile, by applying its trade mark bite on the skull. The whole action lasted for about 10 seconds.It was phenomenal to watch and document such predatory behavior.

Can a jaguar kill adult black caiman or orinoco crocodile? I know 20ft orinoco crocodile and black caiman are highly exaggerated. I think 17ft are the maximum size they can grow. Maybe Paolo knows the answer if jaguars can take down huge black caiman and orinoco crocodile.

Paulo doesn't think so, full grown Black Caiman are huge and would probably be immune to any big cats predation.
They also live in the Amazon where Jaguar aren't as large, so that would make it even less likely. Reply
