Witty Caimans On this day, the young caimans living in the Amazon rainforest are toddlers because they have only been breaking their shells for a few days. They jumped into the nearby waters and used their shouts to guide each other, unaware that they were in danger. Hungry adult caimans find the baby caimans and approach them. The mother caiman is watching all this, and she is very anxious, hard work for 90 days, no food or drink, 3/4 weight loss, to hatch these cubs. She anxiously thought of a way, she knew that she could not fight hard, only outwited.
(The little caiman who had just broken its shell) looked around and found a large tree on the shore, intertwined and extremely defensive. She called on the children to quickly hide in the roots of the tree, and the cubs understood their mother's call and swam into the roots of the tree, hiding in the deepest depths. The adult caiman was helpless, the roots of the tree were too deep and too narrow, his body could not enter, had to go sadly. The mother caiman won, but she told the children not to come out, waiting for the caiman to really leave and make sure it was safe to come out again, and they waited under the protection of their mother. A day has passed, and it is certain that the caiman is gone, and the mother calls for the children to come out. In this battle of wits and courage, I have to admire the wit of the female caiman, but the wit is only the appearance, and the real reason is her "maternal love". In amphibians, most species leave their fertilized eggs to fend for themselves. But caimans are different in that they ensure the survival of their pups. After conception, they will find a safe place to nest to prevent flooding during the rainy season; secondly, they will cover them with branches and mud after spawning, because the temperature determines the sex of the young caiman, the higher the temperature, the higher the probability of hatching males, and vice versa. The incubation process is 90 days, and the female caiman will always stay at the edge of the egg, not leaving, not eating or drinking, to prevent the eggs from being eaten. In this way, her weight dropped to 1/4 of the original. Finally the eggs hatched, and she continued to take care of the cubs. Because young caimans threaten a lot, bald eagles, pythons, adult caimans, etc. are their natural enemies. Therefore, caiman's wit stems from her great "maternal love". Although the female caiman is full of "motherly love", in fact, the caiman is a cold-blooded animal, they can not regulate their body temperature, if the temperature is too high, they may die, so they have to go to the water to cool down. It's the dry season, the temperatures are getting hotter and the water levels are getting lower, and caimans are gathering in only a few waters. There was less and less food, and the stranded fish were eaten by the birds, and the caiman had to prey on the fish in the water. Male caimans are originally solitary animals, they have a strong sense of territory, and they do not allow others to invade. But at the moment, in order to catch food, they reached a consensus, agreeing to gather closely with each other in the waters. Birds discover that the waters have been occupied by caimans and abandon food in the waters. But how to eat fish, the caimans were thinking, and they thought of encirclement tactics. They lined up in dense rows, pushing the fish in the water toward the shore, but there were also sensitive bird predators on the shore, and eventually the fish were pushed into a narrow area, in a dilemma. At this point the caimans began to stir up the waters, the muddy mud suffocated the fish, and the caimans used their wit to obtain food. (Caimans are preying on fish) (Neck parrot) (Camouflaged caimans) Caimans feed on fish, but are not exclusive to birds that approach them. At this moment, a pair of neck-collar parrots are married on the branches of the tree, they are as green as the leaves, only the corners of their mouths are red, and they are still discovered by the keen caiman. The married neckline parrot prepares to build their own nest, and they are going to look for branches, while caimans lurking near them at the moment are camouflaging their mouths with branches. One of the neck parrots flew down to grab the branches, and the caiman opened its mouth and did not bite, but this was a jumping caiman, who jumped up and almost bit the neck parrot, so that he was in danger of dying, and the family that had just been combined was almost tragic. However, some birds that are too late to escape will fall into the mouth of caimans.
