Black Caiman

One of the biggest species of alligator in the world is called the black caiman, and it lives in the Amazonian basin. This hunter from the Amazon rainforest kills its prey by approaching it from underwater and then smashing it with its strong jaws. The catch is then dragged underwater till it drowns. All creatures, including small fish, otters, dogs, and deer, as well as jaguars and other caimans, are killed by it. Humans are only at risk from very huge caimans, which can grow to be 6 meters long.

The black caiman's body is covered in tough scales that serve as armor, yet when asked what color they are, they can be described as olive green, grey, brown, or black. The species has ridges of bone over its huge eyes and is primarily white. They are endowed with powerful molar teeth utilized for breaking food and have great hearing and vision. Because they maintain control over a variety of creatures (their prey), the animal species is one of the key animals in their area.
