Yacare Caiman 01708-Edit

Caimans are patient hunters, using stealth to their advantage. They stay perfectly still in the water, with only their eyes and nostrils above the surface, blending into their surroundings. When prey like fish or birds gets close, they strike with lightning speed, snapping their powerful jaws shut. After catching their prey, they often drag it underwater to drown or subdue it. With strong tails that help them maneuver, caimans are well-adapted to ambush hunting, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The caiman’s cunning is food for thought, but in nature, Camen is food for the jaguar.
