Black Caimen

Related to the extinct dinosaurs of the Mesozoic era 200 million years ago,
the black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) is a top predator in the Amazon. The
back caiman resembles the alligator and can grow as long as 20 feet (6 m) in
length. This reptile often hunts animals drinking water along a cocha's
shoreline. Once an animal is targeted, the black caiman will typically grab
the prey by its head or legs and proceed to drown it by pulling the
unfortunate creature into the water. The caiman's diet includes fish,
capybaras, deer, and other mammals in the Amazon region.
