Jaguar Drowns Crocodile in Brazil

- When jaguars and caiman come together, there is usually only 1 winner, but that doesn't mean that the caiman will give it up easily. This battle took place in the Pantanal, in Brazil, and this caiman was a fighter! The jaguar, exhausted after the struggle underwater, came up with a better plan: just pin the caiman underwater and it will drown, which it did.
I am sure there was plenty of damage caused to the neck when the jaguar caught it, but ultimately, it was the water that got it.
Thanks to Abbie Martin form the Jaguar ID Project - www.jaguaridproject.com - for the amazing footage, and well done on another incredible sighting!

The Jaguar is such a bad ass hunter. And look how comfortable it is in the water. You'd think it was an aquatic animal. No other big cat has mastered that element like the Jaguar
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!
@@edhpn91 You started off well, but kind of drifted off at the end there a little...
@@edhpn91 Yes, the only 2 big cats that like the water are the Jaguar and Tiger...that is correct
@@f.mazz.459 Sure.
The fact that this cat held its breath underwater for so long is just truly amazing #catWithGills
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

I used to think Leopards are badass but the Jaguar is the ultimate technology of a weapon cat
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.
I like how the Jaguar came up for air as it continued to hold the Crocodile under water, that's pretty smart there.
Gotta get your air in.
Ya, very smart that the jaguar came up for air
Obviously a tried, tested and perfected hunting method by this jaguar.
Such amazing animals
Straight up!

@@FiveZeroSafaris Naa, she didnt misunderstand, these people have the arrogance to interrupt 'conversation' with their religious ramblings for no reason.
This big cat is insanely brave as it needs huge balls to fight of any member off the croc family in the water.
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.

Excellent wording ... Jackhole!! Sorry , but seriously,you're a freaking word- Smith ..you jackass!
This mighty Jaguar is clearly knowing underwater fight better than crocodiles. What a game changer.
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.
What amazes me is how much time the cat can stay under water. I thought he was drowning but nope he got his meal. Amazing cats for sure. ❤❤❤
They are the gift that just keeps giving.
@@FiveZeroSafaris that they are edward... that they are indeed.
@@kbishop94 :)
It's all about the incredible bite force of the jags which allows them to hunt caimans on regular basis in Pantanal. They don't really " drown" them but bite around the eyes with such force that they either pierce the skull and/or severe the spinal cord. No other cat or any other predator is capable of that, in some regions of Pantanal the caimans part of the jag diet goes up to 60%.
Jaguars are serious biters.
Very few animals are as adept on land and in the water as the mighty Jaguar.
Difficult customers to deal with if you are the prey.
Yeah too bad Jaguar automobiles cannot live up to the same “mighty” reputation as the actual animal does, as their cars are complete crap
@@dougedoug2105 🤣🤣🤣
Leopards
@@FiveZeroSafaris Lol, for sure.
I think it's a caiman, not a crocodile since we don't have crocodiles here in Brazil. Great video though
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.

Very impressive indeed!
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.
I’ve noticed that in all of these Jaguar v Croc videos the Jaguar always severs the spinal cord just behind it’s head rendering the reptile paralyzed, unable to put up a fight. Pretty smart!
That is fighting smart, not hard.
That's how they hunt they kill their prey instantly
Yeah bro that 1500 psi comes in handy.
Как я рада за ягуара! В какой то момент показалось, что крокодил держит его под водой, но всё обошлось! Я за котиков!))
Jaguar fans representing!
Incredible predator! The Jaguar has the strongest bite force out of all the big cats in the world. With a bite force of 1,500 lbs per square inch. That’s double the bite force of the mighty Tiger! Amazing!
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.
I have seen so many Jaguar vs Caiman videos and i can say this is the first time i have seen a Jaguar taking so much time to demobilize and carry away the caiman..but like always, props to the Jaguar, that's real power there
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
How do you escape such a beast?? Great at climbing trees. Excellent on land, superb in the water. Only option is a Fight Till Death.😢
Then we better learn to fight...
Then, you need learned how to fly lol.🤔😆😄🤷🏻♂️

"Get my good side".

Glad you enjoyed it! :)
This cat is just special!! I can't say that enough about the jaguar. How it manages to kill caimans in the water AND under the water; the waters: which is the caimans element and to get killed in your environment, says a lot about the jaguar.
You are spot on! I love to see the love for Jaguars.

Crocodile - No one can hunt me in water
Jaguar - Let me drown you in water
This is where complacency gets you.

Great clip. A caiman is not a crocodile though; caimans are way smaller.
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 TH-cam 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.
Nile Croc: " Impressive! ....Now come try that in my neck of the woods"
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..
Jaguar is the boss in the Pantanal; plain and simple. Dramatic video and audio footage FiveZero Safaris. Without your hard work and uploaded video, I would have never witnessed this interaction.
Glad we could help you see the action! :)
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.
Jaguar is The most Fearless Creature of this world.
I love his mind Power, Strength and Daring attitude. ❤️
My favourite jaguar. 🔥
And the jaguars love you.
@@FiveZeroSafaris hahaha 😎
Nice to hear this. 😎
Jags are pretty badass. They go after things that most predators stay away from.
It is nice to be the boss.
I'd beg to differ I think the jaguar was breaking the spinal cord not drowning as crocs and camen can hold their breath for very long periods at a time where as jaguars can't.
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?
For all those innocent preys, this cat is a saviour
But what if the caiman is an innocent prey?
Jaguars, Tigers, and Lionesses are my favorite big cats hands down!

Thanks, and thanks!
Misleading in the sense that the Jaguar doesn't kill caimans by drowning them, but by severing the spine behind the head. Incredible jaw strength.
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.

Amazing 😁 I love the big wild cats especially the Jaguar!!!!
While I agree with you, I don't think caiman do.
Powerful and patient, great video.
Thanks! I appreciate the love! :)
I knew they bit through the skull to kill them, but the fact that some of them don't even bother and just drown a *mainly aquatic animal* is even more insane. Jaguars are on another goddamn level man.
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.
A well deserved meal there!
That was a hell of a fight !
It always tastes better when you earn it.

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

The title is clickbait. The caiman (not crocodile, btw) is already dead at the start of the video, so no way to tell whether it was drowned, simply killed by the jag, or otherwise died. It is impressive, though, to see this powerful cat pulling this reptile, of approximately his own body weight, through & out of the water. Jags are super predators!
I'll give you the crocodile/caiman argument, but it is clearly still alive in the video? Were you watching?
Gosto dos dois bichos,Mas ver uma onça vencer um jacaré deste tamanho,dentro da água...sinceramente o gatinho me conquistou mais,lindo!🥰

Have no desire how a jaguar drowns a croc as the latter can hold their breath underwater for around 20 mins
It can only hold its breath for extended periods when it is in control and has prepared, not while it is fighting.
Actually, this is not Crocodile, it's a smaller species called Caiman. Jaguar, Caiman & Anaconda are native to Amazon Forest. Caiman is part of Jaguar's diet and it regularly hunts them.
Crocodile, Aligator & Caiman are different species and often confused for each other.
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.
Incredible fit of strength and power!
For sure. Not to be messed with.
Caimans are not crocodiles, caimans are much smaller. The title is misleading. No cat can defeat a crocodile in the water and even on land it would be extremely difficult for the largest cat: the tiger.
What about a baby crocodile?
Next, Jaguar drowns fish! I understand crocodiles are air breathing. Eventhough crocs (not the shoe brand) can hold their breath for so long, they can still be drowned by a predator that denies it the chance to breathe. In the case of a fish, what if the Jaguar holds the gill openings shut for a while?
What if it brings the fish above the water?
This is the Power of the Jaguar. Never give up. Amazing Power.
I think it is best not to get on their bad side...
Great footage, thanks indeed.
I've several times watched jaguars hunting from both land & water; yet lions a meer look at crocks/allegators in water takes off.

Mr: Jaguar ..come to Africa...and try this method on Nail crocodile... you will not be able to tell the experience to other jags
There are Nail crocodiles now?
@@FiveZeroSafaris yes ..the massai mara river is full of them
This is an amazing feat for a land-based animal being able to swim into the water and kill a large, powerful aquatic animal like a crocodile that is completely adapted to life in the water. That the Jaguar then has the stamina and intelligence to hold its breath and drown the crocodile, which is equally adept at holding its breath and swimming underwater, is nothing short of amazing. I don't think there is another land animal alive with this sort of cunning and bravery.
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.
Amazing! 😲😍
You have summed it up nicely.
Brasil, paraíso das onças pintadas
Well certain areas anyway.
Guando a onça afunda e o momento gue o jacaré jovem estava usando suas últimas forças girando para tentar escapar.
That was the moment.
When you come into a martial arts gym and defeat the master in his own fighting style!!
Sweet victory.

Какой великолепный зверь,могучий и отважный.
Agreed.
Tigers like the water too but you don't see these type of videos. I imagine it has something to do with the Jaguars stronger bite force. Or perhaps just a technique that the Jaguar's invested in?
I would guess the type of prey?
@@FiveZeroSafaris True, I just can't imagine Crocs/Caiman as tasting as good as other prey - humans don't even eat it. Their skin is hard and it seems like a not so easy kill that can fiight back.
Caiman or crocodile, this is still amazing. The fearless factor of a jaguar is unquestionable. Other cats don't even like water; more less, don't even like staying in the water, like that, due to crocodiles but jaguars will stay in waters, even after killing a croc or caiman.
They have absolutely mastered their entire habitat!
Jaguars are amazing big cats! They rule over the jingle. Awesome footage. More please.
I agree. I will try! :)
I would just fix the name. we don't have crocodiles in Brazil, but different species of cayman/alligator or as we call "jacaré". Notice that jaguars bite the back part of the neck while leopards and lions grab the front part of their prays in africa, since the prays in Africa are much taller.
Fair enough, and yes.
Beautiful 🐾 Work 🐆💜✨👀

Very impressive animal.
The caiman can confirm you are correct.
