Jaguar Drowns Crocodile in Brazil 

Only 2 big cats are skillful swimmers & naturally love to swim & stay in the water: jaguar & tiger... The different are their habitats. Tigers are endangered species that lives mostly in protected habitats. Otherwise, jaguars live in the wilderness. CORRECTION! Jaguar is listed as “Near Threatened” on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Mostly jaguars also live in protected habitats.

You are spot on there - amazing predators!

@@ottoharp91050 You started off well, but kind of drifted off at the end there a little...

@@ottoharp91050 Yes, the only 2 big cats that like the water are the Jaguar and Tiger...that is correct

@@f.mazz.459 Sure.

Its not using any technology.

@@2_Sec_C and he's not being literal

Jaguar is a car. not a cat. hence it uses advanced technology and sensors.

U need to watch more leopard videos

Jaguars are significantly larger than leopards & have a much higher bite force (highest of the big cats). Leopards are faster, jags are stronger. Both, though, are incredibly athletic &, pound for pound, the baddest of asses.

Quite a feat!

Fun fact: Jags can hold their breath underwater for up to 20 mins

@@dlou93 Thats about 19 minutes and 30 seconds better than me.

@@FiveZeroSafaris lmao facts

You are absolutely correct, and thanks! :)

They know perfectly well it’s a Caiman but if they put Crocodile in the title they know they will get more hits. Usual clickbait nonsense…

@@jontyarnold8522 yeah definitely

@@jontyarnold8522 Not as bad as the hot chick thumbnails so prevalent.

Caiman crocodile alligator there all the same

She has huge balls? :)

It's a all ready dead croc.

They prey on caimen all the time. If you're a jaguar you don't need balls to prepare your meal

Sounds like crocs are a stable choice on jag's menu, although it does take some serious efforts. Also, don't think other crocs will come to the rescue though.

El agua también son sus dominios del jaguar. No solo es un excelente nadador, también es un excelente buceador. Por eso reta al caimán en el agua, en el río.

What if it brings the fish above the water?

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Stop being a kid. Cayman is still a crocodile just a different species of crocodile.

What about a baby crocodile?

@@patrickamponsah679 Thanks for calling it.

@@patrickamponsah679 Wrong! Caimans are in the alligator family. There is a big difference between Crocs and alligators. Stop being ignorant.

@@sneat2028: They are all crocodylians.

They are proper beasts!

Caimans are not really that big... Now if he took down an African full grown crocodile that would be impressive... Anacondas take down caiman's all the time

@@truthhurts79 I think @Michael has a point...

@@michaelchaleff4986 Truth.

At one point it looked like the Jaguar needed a serious break...

Read the title you nimrod.

Took the words right out of my mouth. They are amazing hunters!

I was too. The jag kept gasping for air 😂

😂😂😂 me too

It was certainly at an end for that caiman.

If they don't get air, sure.

How long do they last underwater? I figured it's quite long!

But what if the caiman is an innocent prey?

Agreed. Best not to pick a fight with one.

It's not a crocodile. It's a caiman. Much easier opponent then a crocodile

@@timothy3644 and much smaller. He also didnt drown it he most likely bit through the skull and pierced it's brain.

Caiamsn are 1/4 the size of the Nile and Saltwater crocs that lions and tigers live near, no big cat can kill those in water.

Game changer indeed.

It’s not a crocodile. A crocodile would be trying to eat that jaguar

@@pocolol8424 a scared ass cayman?

Those Caimans are 1/4 the size of the Nile and Saltwater crocs that lions and tigers live near, no big cat can kill those in water.

I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around that fact. And I bet so are the caimans.

It is nice to be the boss.

Agreed. This jaguar had to work a little harder than usual. Got it in the end though! :)

You're right, and I think the Jaguar didn't killed the Cayman instantly like I see it in most of the videos and that's why he gets the Caymans out of the water very fast, maybe he's not a full adult Jaguar or the Cayman is very strong that the Jaguar couldn't crushed his head

There are Nail crocodiles now?

@@FiveZeroSafaris yes ..the massai mara river is full of them

Thanks, and you are right.

@@FiveZeroSafaris Black Caiman can grow to 5-6 Meters in length, & weigh up to 450Kgs. People who post comments on these videos seem to think that all Caiman are 3-ft-long at the outside!!! There are videos on RU-vid of a 14-Ft-Long Black Caiman being attacked by a family of 5 Giant River Otters, bcos they didn’t like it being in the same part of the river where they were raising their young. So they initially tried to persuade it to move away to a different part of the river where so they could raise their vulnerable young in less dangerous circumstances, but the Caiman resisted all of their attempts to annoy the hell out of it until it moved away, but it wasn’t budging. Bearing in mind that Giant River Otters regularly grow to 6-ft in length, & that they’re faster & better, more agile swimmers, not to mention the fact that there were 5 of them against a single Caiman, you’d have thought that it’d be a walkover for them, & yet they were extremely careful not to get anywhere near the Caiman’s Massive Jaws, knowing that one bite would be enough to kill even a Giant River Otter… In the end, realising that the Big Lizard wasn’t planning to move away any time soon, they attacked it en masse in a concerted effort to kill their rival predator. All Hell then broke loose, & it took the 5 Otters 1 HOUR & 40 MINS of intense non-stop fighting to be able to defeat their much-larger adversary, & it could just as easily have gone the other way. It’s funny how you never see videos of Jaguars attacking 14-ft-long Caiman, is it not? Obviously that’s bcos Jaguars are much more intelligent than your average “Caiman are ever so tiny” folks posting idiotic comments on YT videos…!!! 👹 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_caiman

@@darioyabra1465 That was a solid comment. I support its length and your passion.

Os leões e tigres também são bem maiores e não são capazes de caçar um crocodilo na água como os jaguares caçam

@@fabianodias5718 Probably not indeed, though I have seen clips about tigers killing crocodiles.

Let's settle on a combo.

Probably just bite straight through it's skull and kill it, then anybody watching just assumed the Jaguar drowned the croc which is highly unlikely for reasons already mentioned above.

@@andrewrobertsmith7367 So after the jaguar just bit straight though the skull and killed it, the now dead caiman still fought back, keeping the jaguars continually diving under the water?

@@FiveZeroSafaris, No that isn't what I said now is it? The Jaguar was fighting the Caiman too get the skull bite which may have and obviously did result in a struggle before this happened. The Jaguar had fortune here as this was a fair size Caiman & the Jaguar avoided injury even though it probably missed it's initial attempt at killing the Caiman quickly.

​@@andrewrobertsmith7367 So we can settle on the combo then?

Straight up! It is not everyday you see this! :)

Actually it's not rare you can look it up all on RU-vid they have videos of countless jaguars grabbing Cayman the smaller cousin croc and then on the other hand they also have the tables being turned the Jaguar getting killed but very rare but yeah look it up they have a lot of videos of the Cayman getting grabbed by jaguars just saying but it is still in neet video to look at

Thanks! I appreciate the love! :)

That was the moment.

I'll give you the crocodile/caiman argument, but it is clearly still alive in the video? Were you watching?

And secondly..?

@@FiveZeroSafaris Secondly one should be aware of a Tigress in India named 'Machli' which killed a 14 feet actual crocodile single handedly. I understand salt water crocs can be even larger than that, but think of that before being wonderstruck about this.

@@BhaskarSaiBigBoss So no one should be wonderstruck by this?

True, the caiman can hold it's breath for 20 mins to an hour.

Jaguars are the only cat that prefers to grab their prey by the head

I see what you are saying, but the caiman clearly fights back and continues to struggle for quite a while after the "kill" bite. During this time the jaguar keeps it underwater. I do think that the initial bite did enough damage to severely incapacitate the caiman to a point though.

@@ureasmith3049 but not when it is in a fight and using up all its reserve energy in a hurry.

@@inevitableexpertise1016 It is a good system for them.

They do have a way of making you love them.

Most probably, yes.

All business.

Basically, don't be on the receiving end of a bite from a jaguar.

@jose -- the chilean red ant has a bite force of 2000 lbs/sq inch.

@@jacktran7024 Thank God it can't get it's mouth around my neck.

Not true, tiger and lions are way stronger then jaguar

@@christiandejezus3913 It IS true. Jaguar's bit force is up to 1500 psi. Tiger is just over 1000. Lion is less than 700.

The problem with you Clown who say this about caiman and salt water crocs is dumb because if you we're smart enough you would know a salt water crocodile has the weakest armor to kill, then a caiman.

No.

@@conEso916 I am feeling the passion, but I actually don't know who the clown is here?

No

No absolutely no one geta offended by that.. it would be weird if anyone was offended by it

I think it is a good time to stay out of the water.

trust me ... the jaguar did not drown the crocodile. they can hold their breathe for 15 minutes to 1 hour and a half

They are proper machines.

@@FinesseLife What happens when a reptile fights? Where does their energy come from? How much energy do they have in reserve? How long was the fight in total? If it is pinned underwater for a period of time with no energy left, could it not drown? I don't think I trust you...

Caimans are cold blooded, remember. Jaguars will make the caiman waste their precious energy and then kill them. Or they will kill the caiman while it is getting more energy and is distracted.

Jaguar: It's too far to swim...

now get a Jaguar that's the same size as a Lion or Tiger, trust me your nile crocodile would be the jaguar's lunch

@@ali10833 As an admirer of the Jag, I'd actually be ok with that lol.

Cat tube is right. If jaguar was a size of a lion, no crocodile or alligator or lion or tiger stand a chance. I am in awe of jaguar than any animal. They also hunt anaconda.

If the jaguar is as big as the nile croc, then there is no problem for the jaguar..

Loving the love!

Both the Jaguar and I agree.

But this is a jaguar?

Yes the Jaguar only wanted itself to breathe.

That's the reason for the buddy system.

@@openyard Ultimately, yes.

@@FiveZeroSafaris а что русские , одни англосаксы.

Heavy fandom - I like it.

No doubt!

It can only hold its breath for extended periods when it is in control and has prepared, not while it is fighting.

While I agree with you, I don't think caiman do.

Sure, but how did we get onto Africa?

Hahaha jaguar in africa?

Where you think south America got their animals from are you denying that south America was never apart of Africa? I would argue you wouldn't see them in Europe before I would deny any of them not being in Africa.

Look up Nile crocodile and don't make yourself look anymore stupid

@@omaribishop5641 I agree, plus this is a caiman, not a croc also.a jaguar is indeed powerful but would have a much harder time with a saltwater croc.

It's a caiman... An adult croc now that would be impressive

@@truthhurts79 Sure, but there are no adult crocodiles in the area, so it will be tough to get the video?

@@FiveZeroSafaris I'm just saying there's a huge difference between a caiman and a 18 foot nile crocodile

@@truthhurts79 Of course there is.

@@inevitableexpertise1016 We have all been there.

What did leopards do wrong?

@@FiveZeroSafaris lol nothing. I just prefer the Jaguar over it. Just like I like the Lioness over the Lion

@@mwj9080 Fair enough. :)

Well certain areas anyway.

And then drowned it.

I think you have hit the nail on the head!

It is a caiman and not a crocodile. The jaguar could have broken the caiman's neck underwater because this is the way jaguars kill their prey. No doubt you have seen the footage of the jaguar pouncing on a caiman that was basking on the riverbank and the jaguar catches the caiman before he escapes and breaks his neck with a powerful bite.

It's crazy that The Jaguar knew that the crocodile couldn't breathe underwater is another dimension of its intelligence.

It's not even a crocodile, it's a caiman. A large spectacled caiman respectively, larger species such as the black caiman could easily overwhelm the jaguar in the same circumstance. This is why the hunting tactics of Amazonian jaguars are much less daring.

But are they not all crocodilians?

@@FiveZeroSafaris I do not understand the Question. Caiman have smaller Jaws and are smaller in size unlike Crocodile. Unlike us, Jaguar seems to know the difference and hunt Caiman alone. Had it been a Crocodile, It would have grabbed Jaguar with its Death Grip with its Jaws. Crocodile is Superior in Water. However, it avoids attacking Hippos as both share the same space and Hippos are territorial and lethal to Crocodiles.

@@KarthicVeeraswamy yeah there isn't much that's gonna kill a croc. Hippos & Elephants but that's about it......I don't even think a lion would do it, maybe on land.....I know tigers will do it

@@KarthicVeeraswamy They all belong to the order crocodilia. I shortened it to crocodiles...

@@inevitableexpertise1016 Lions and Tigers do kill full sized crocodiles, but not in the water.

Fair enough, and yes.

Life took a turn that day...

Of course not. It would be quick lunch for the nile crocodile, especially in the water

Tivesse tamanho de um tigre, sim com certeza

Yes, a jaguar can kill a Nile crocodile of the appropriate size. They don’t all start off at 20 feet long! There are young Nile crocs. Jaguars would simply hunt them, in my opinion.

@@1fleshnhim not an adult nile crocodile. Even a male lion couldn't
