Abigail Martin: Brazilian Pantenal wetland jaguar hunts spectacled caiman Jaguar hunts spectacled caiman in Brazil's Pantenal wetlands
Abigail Martin, an American zoologist who previously went to the wetlands of Brazil to study jaguars, witnessed a spectacled caiman close to the shore, was attacked by a jaguar, the strong man met and finally the jaguar got a crocodile meal, and the fierce fight in the river made him amazed.
According to the Daily Mail, Martin, a zoologist in New York, established a non-profit organization Jaguar Identification Project in 2013, and last August he went to the Pantanal to conduct research, at first he accidentally saw a caiman ready to go ashore, while a jaguar named King Juru was observing on the shore, and the waiting jaguar bit the crocodile's neck. Not to be outdone, the caiman opened its mouth and struggled to break free, rolling in the river, and the continuous splashing of water on the side showed how fierce the fight was, and finally the caiman was dragged ashore against the bite force of the jaguar.
Martin said excitedly, "Today we witnessed King Juru, an epic killing, see how he finally used his grip to drag the caiman ashore!" After watching the video, many netizens praised the ferocity of the jaguar, "the most powerful cat on earth", "I hope I can also be as strong as the jaguar and fight in real life."
According to the statistics of the Jaguar Identification Project, there are currently 4,000 to 7,000 jaguars in the Pantner wetland, and the body length of the jaguar can grow to about 170 cm, unlike other cats, they are very good at water activities, often living near rivers, lakes and wetlands, and may have a high chance of defeating caimans about 2 meters long, Martin also hopes that the Pantner wetland can give them more research experience.
