Drama in the Corixo Negro ("Black Channel") of the Cuiaba river, July 2022 iin the Brazilian Pantanal. The struggle and kill took place mostly under water. The combatants would surface only occasionally to the two dozen boats directed at them, with everyone jockeying for position and tempers fraying (that's the aspect of jaguar spotting they don't tell you about!). The jaguar had gone for the throat instead of the more usual brain case, and had to struggle hard to kill the caiman. When it finally did, it dragged the corpse into the reeds and we didn't see it again that day.
