>>5107981 They did the same to Cassius. It’s like they can’t find anyone better than an amateur taxidermist to preserve the biggest crocodiles ever caught
>>5108006 The long skinny neck is so uncanny. It’s like whoever did it never actually looked at a picture of a crocodile, so they just stretched the skin of the neck out as much as possible when it should be fat and short. Like that stuffed walrus that had all its wrinkles smoothed out making it way larger
>>5107843 those damn crocs that know who killed jfk. those sneaky crocs that know who did 9/11. those conniving crocs who know that jeffery epstein didn't kill himself
>>5116490 What the fuck is it with roasties having to make everything vaguely sexual, man? Who the fuck wears an outfit like that to give a gator a massage. Can they stop thinking with their coochies for like 2 seconds?
>>5116552 >Involuntary My whole point is that I DON'T want to have sex, Redditor. Did you forget that you can't farm updoots on the Mongolian basket-weaving forum?
>>5107789 Over a month ago they saw a croc on an African cam with a really nasty wound in his side as well as missing a big part of his tail. Fucker seemed pretty resilient, although no new video of him was posted since these 4, so maybe he sadly kicked the bucket already.
>>5111239 Unironically, a great white vs. a saltie could go either way. Crocodiles can take pretty crazy punishment and still be fine as long as they can swim and catch fish. However if the crocodile fucks up one of the sharks' fins, the shark may not be able to swim as well or at all and that's game over for the shark.
>>5107789 Any pics/videos of a black caiman hunting a jaguar? It's hard to document because of the crocodilian "blink and you'll miss it" ambush attack style.
>>5107789 Would it be too much to say a jaguar could take on a fully grown saltwater crocodile? I mean, jaguars hunt fully grown black caimans very often in their habitat, and fully grown black caimans reach some 5m in length, considering the largest saltwater crocodiles reach some 6m in length I don't suppose it would be too much for a jaguar to take on, right? I don't suppose an extra meter is gonna matter much when the jaguars already take on the 5m beasts without much issue
>>5130262 >jaguars hunt fully grown black caimans very often in their habitat no, they don't. you're confusing black caimans with other smaller caiman species. jaguars avoid areas where adult black caiman are.
if salties can take down tigers, a jaguar doesn't have a chance. they're a mexican animal.
>>5130262 >I mean, jaguars hunt fully grown black caimans very often in their habitat, and fully grown black caimans reach some 5m in length Jaguars don’t hunt them “very often”. They rarely hunt smaller black caimans, let alone exceptionally large ones. The largest caiman ever recorded being preyed on by a jaguar was about 3.8 metres and likely weighed 200-300 kg. That’s impressive enough on its own >I don't suppose an extra meter is gonna matter much when the jaguars already take on the 5m beasts without much issue An extra metre in length is a massive difference in size. A 5 metre black caiman would weigh around 750 kg. A 6 metre saltwater croc can weigh up to 1300 kg. The crocodile’s head alone might weigh more than the largest jaguars
>>5130289 Wasn't the 3.8m black caiman individual taken down by a teenage/subadult jaguar from the Amazon tho? I heard this same story from one of the guys over at Jaguarland. If we take in consideration that the jaguar was a subadult and it was from the Amazon population of jaguars, which is smaller mind you, then wouldn't it be possible that one of the largest individuals from the Pantanal population of jaguars, which are absolute units in comparison, like the adult males from the Pantanal region can be as large as medium sized tigers, I believe one of those might be able to take down a fully grown saltwater crocodile in a succesful ambush
>>5130350 >Wasn't the 3.8m black caiman individual taken down by a teenage/subadult No. They do not specify the age of the jaguar in the paper >I believe one of those might be able to take down a fully grown saltwater crocodile in a succesful ambush The largest pantanal jaguars would be twice the size of a northern Amazon jaguar at best. A 6 metre saltwater croc would be 4-6 times the size of that caiman. They are way too large
