well it’s a big huge jungle and there’s hundreds of thousands of people there. And he wasn’t saying it hasn’t actually happened, but saying that only he himself by his own one self does not know of anyone. He was not over generalizing he was speaking about only his own personal experience. I’d be willing to bet somebody in the world at some time or another time has been eaten or attacked by a caiman crocodile. but of course, i myself have never been there and have not tried to find out by my own one self

I love that almost every human that has been around pure unapologetic nature is simultaneously bewildered and scared shitless. Just imagine, how would we react to complex alien life, not even necessarily sentient life, just animals on a different planet? Think about how frightening, yet astonishing that would be. If aliens have, or ever will, discover this planet, what will they think about shit like black caimans, great whites, anacondas/pythons, etc. I like to think that our wild animals are just as crazy as we imagine alien animals to be.

I remember returning from the river to our hut and seeing all the locals standing around. As we got closer we saw they had killed a black caimen about 12-13 feet long and super fat. The little tributary and river is where we had been swimming hours earlier. Supposedly they're more mild than other alligators or crocs, but it didnt' make me feel any better. This was about 30 miles outside of Iquitos.

One swam up to a island and picked up a 7+ foot caiman like a bag of takeout. Then ran off, like 2/10 difficulty and the 2 was for swimming … you do speak some truth as They don’t really attack massive caiman that get over 12 feet. .

I'm sure the otters had some fun in their task, but I tend to think it was as much a lesson to the Caiman, it's them letting that dumb reptile know that we ain't food. That this is OUR territory and if you want some more we got all you want. Dolphins do it to Sharks, they'll start battering a shark from all angles and the shark can't get out of there fast enough. The dolphins may enjoy it to some degree, but they don't go out of their way to do it. Otters aren't suicidal, sure they're faster, quicker, and smarter, but fucking with a caiman just for fun seems dumb. The risk/reward playing with what is essentially a dinosaur that survived seems more risk than reward. But what do I know?
