Jaguar stalks & kills a caiman.....

[blacktimberwolf]

Incredible footage of a jaguar, stealthily (for want of a better word)) tracking, pouncing on & killing a caiman (for those that don't know that's a croc with a south American accent )

Watch & admire a master at work.......

Must be some weight in that caiman and it throws it around like its nothing.

That's so cool. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Ecoman]

Wow, that is pretty impressive

 

[Lynx]

Wicked vid and what a Hunter!

Excellent!

Wow! Ive seen footage and pics of Jags doing this before, but this croc is dispatched with pretty much instantly. A master predator for sure.

They are my joint favourite big cat (Siberian Tiger the other).

Cheers for sharing.

Impressive...

 

[Jared]

Awesome.

Just impressive how it's learnt to kill that so easily.

 

[Mesquite]

Amazing skills there.

That ones a bit grim.

The poor jaguar certainly didn't go willingly a least...

Hmm - how does the jag end up in the river? That bit of footage is missing - and plenty of viewers think the jag was shot first.

I didn't see anything to suggest that but it's possible. But jaguars apparently like to swim. And there are several other links showing caimans killing them.

I agree there is something definately "off" about that video. Conviniently situated slice of meat by the waters edge doesn't help me think otherwise either.

Again, "possibly." But what would be the motive? Anybody going to that trouble would have profited more from killing the jaguar themselves and selling the hide than from a film of caimans eating it.

 

[mrcharly]

The motive? Getting good movie footage.

Doesn't compare with a pelt worth several hundred dollars does it.
