Caiman vs. Capybara

Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, capivara) are heavily predated by jaguars, pumas, ocelots, foxes, anacondas and caimans. Therefore they reproduce in a rodent-like manner. Here you see a 2 meter caiman (Caiman yacare, jacaré) after it killed a year-old capybara ... It's nature's circle of life.
