TERRIFYING Discovery: Giant Crocodile That Eats JAGUARS Found Ruling the Amazon

[00:00:00]The water is still. The river is black.

[00:00:03]It is 3:00 in the morning in the Amazon and nothing is moving.

[00:00:07]Then the surface breaks. A pair of eyes, orange, reflective, sitting just above the waterline like two hot coals floating in the dark. They do not blink.

[00:00:18]They do not move. They just watch.

[00:00:21]Something is lying in wait at the edge of the river. It is 20 ft long. It weighs more than half a ton. Its jaws can crush bone like dry wood and it has been here for a very long time. The locals call it the jacaré açu.

[00:00:36]The big caiman, the giant crocodile of the Amazon. It is the largest predator in the entire Amazon River basin. Not the jaguar. Not the anaconda. This. It eats fish. It eats deer. It eats capybara. It eats turtles. It eats anacondas. And yes, it eats jaguars.

[00:00:56]There are documented cases of a 20-ft reptile dragging a 200-lb cat into the water. The strongest bite in the jungle means nothing when you are pulled under by something twice your weight. This animal was nearly wiped off the face of the earth. Hunters killed 99% of them.

[00:01:12]99% for handbags, for wallets, for shoes.

[00:01:17]And then something incredible happened.

[00:01:20]It came back.

[00:01:21]This is the story of the black caiman.

[00:01:24]The giant that we almost lost and the prehistoric monster it descended from.

[00:01:29]A monster so large it makes the black caiman look like a baby.

[00:01:33]41 ft long, 8 tons, a bite twice as powerful as a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

[00:01:40]That animal lived in these exact same rivers. And tonight, we are going to find out what happened to it. The Amazon is home to things most people cannot imagine. Rivers wider than highways.

[00:01:52]Forests that stretch for thousands [music] of miles without a single road.

[00:01:56]Water so dark you cannot see your own hand beneath the surface. This is the largest river system on Earth. It pours more water into the ocean than the next seven largest rivers combined. It's mouth is so wide you could sail for hours and never see the opposite bank.

[00:02:12]And the main river is just the beginning. There are more than a thousand tributaries branching off in every direction. Some of them are enormous rivers in their own right. Some of them have never been named. The forest [music] between them floods for months every year creating a vast underwater world where trees stand in 10 ft of water >> [music] >> and fish swim through the canopy roots.

[00:02:33]It is a place designed to hide things and it is full of predators. Piranhas, electric eels, anacondas, venomous spiders, bullet ants, fer-de-lance vipers that can kill a man with a single bite.

[00:02:50]The Amazon is not a gentle place. It is not a place that forgives mistakes, but above all of these one animal sits at the very top, the black caiman. It is the largest member of the alligator family in the world. A full-grown male can stretch past 16 ft. The biggest ones reach 20 ft. Some reports from the deep interior claim even larger. Its body is covered in thick black armored scales.

[00:03:15]The black color is not just for show. It does two things. First, it makes the caiman almost invisible at night. A 20-ft predator in black water under a black sky wearing black armor, you will not see it until it is too late. Second, the dark skin absorbs heat from the sun faster than lighter skin. That matters because crocodilians are cold-blooded.

[00:03:36]They need external heat to power their bodies. A black caiman warms up faster, moves faster, and hunts more efficiently than its lighter-colored relatives.

[00:03:44]Evolution built it for the dark. It is a night hunter and the Amazon night belongs to it. [music] The indigenous people of the Amazon have lived alongside the black caiman for thousands of years.

[00:03:55]They call it the jacaré-açu. The name means the big caiman. It is not a word used lightly. In many indigenous languages, there are separate words for the smaller spectacled caiman and for the jacaré-açu. The distinction matters.

[00:04:09]The smaller caiman is a nuisance.

[00:04:11]The jacaré-açu is something else entirely. The communities that live along the rivers of the Amazon treat the jacaré-açu with deep respect. In some cultures, it is sacred. It is considered a guardian of the river, a keeper of the balance between the water and the land.

[00:04:26]In the Curi Loa Inglesis Indigenous Reserve in Colombia, the black caiman is protected by community law. The elders teach the children that the caiman is not an enemy. It is part of the river, part of the balance, part of something larger than any one person. Killing one without reason brings consequences, not from the law, from the river itself.

[00:04:48]That is what the elders say.

[00:04:50]But respect is not the same as safety.

[00:04:52]The rules are strict. You do not swim in certain stretches of river after dark.

[00:04:57]You do not wash clothes at the water's edge at dawn or dusk. Those are the hours when the caiman hunts. You do not let children play near the banks during nesting season. A female guarding her nest is the most dangerous animal in [music] the river. You do not approach her, ever. You do not paddle a canoe alone at night through still water.

[00:05:14]If you see orange eyes on the surface, you turn around. You do not shine a light at them. You do not go closer to look. You leave. These are not suggestions. These are survival rules passed down through generations. Because the jacaré-açu does not hunt people on purpose, but it is an opportunist. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, standing in shallow water, washing [music] at the bank, paddling a small canoe at night, the caiman does not know you are a person. It knows you are prey.

[00:05:42]And once it strikes, [music] there is no letting go.

[00:05:46]European explorers first encountered the black caiman in the 16th and 17th centuries [music] when Portuguese and Spanish expeditions pushed into the interior of South America. The early reports were terrifying.

[00:05:58]Explorers described enormous dark-skinned crocodiles lining the river banks by the [music] dozens. They said the animals were so large and so numerous that it was dangerous to put a boat in the water after sunset. One account from the early colonial period described [music] a caiman seizing a hunting dog from the river bank in front of its owner. Another described a large caiman overturning [music] a small canoe and dragging a man under.

[00:06:19]The Portuguese called it the jacaré-açu, borrowing the indigenous name. The Spanish called it simply el lagarto negro, the black lizard. By the 18th century, naturalists had begun to formally classify the animal. It was given the scientific name Melanosuchus niger.

[00:06:38]Melanosuchus comes from the Greek words for black and crocodile. Niger is [music] Latin for black. Black black crocodile. Even science could not stop calling it that. The name tells you what matters about this animal. It's darkness, its size, its presence in the water at night. For centuries, the black caiman ruled the rivers of the Amazon without serious challenge. It was the largest thing in the water. It had no natural predators once it reached adult size. [music] It ate whatever it wanted, including the most powerful cat in the Americas. Here is the fact that makes people stop and stare. The black caiman eats jaguars, not the other way around.

[00:07:15]In most of the world, the big cat is the apex predator. The lion rules the savanna, the tiger rules the forest, the jaguar rules the Amazon. Or so people think. The truth is more complicated. In the water, the jaguar is not the king.

[00:07:29]The black caiman is. There are documented cases of black caimans killing and eating jaguars that came to the river to drink or hunt. The caiman lunges from the water, seizes the cat, and drags it under. The jaguar has the strongest bite of any big cat for its size. It can crack a turtle shell with its jaws. But in the water, against the 20-ft reptile that outweighs it by three or four times, the cat does not stand a chance. The caiman also eats anacondas, the very same giant snakes we have talked about on this channel. There are accounts of black caimans and anacondas locked in combat for hours. Two of the Amazon's most powerful predators wrapped around each other in the dark water.

[00:08:05]Sometimes the snake wins, sometimes the caiman wins. But the fact that a single animal can fight and kill both a jaguar and a giant anaconda tells you something about what the black caiman really is.

[00:08:16]It is not just another reptile in the river. It is the undisputed ruler of the Amazon waterways, and it [music] almost disappeared.

[00:08:24]In the 1940s, something terrible began.

[00:08:27]The fashion industry in Europe and the United States discovered that black caiman skin made beautiful leather, smooth, dark, shiny, perfect for luxury goods, handbags, belts, wallets, shoes, briefcases. The demand exploded. Hunters flooded the Amazon. They came with spotlights and rifles and boats. They hunted at night sweeping their lights across the water looking for the orange glow of caiman eyes. When they found them, they shot the animals in the head and dragged the bodies ashore. They skinned them on the riverbank. They stacked the skins in boats and shipped them downriver to the ports. The meat was left to rot. Nobody wanted the meat, just the skin. A single black caiman skin could be sold for enough money to feed a family for a week. So, the hunters came back night after night, river after river, lake after lake.

[00:09:16]Between 1950 and 1965, more than 7 and 1/2 million caiman skins were exported [music] from the state of Amazonas alone. 7 and 1/2 million.

[00:09:25]From one state [music] in one 15-year period.

[00:09:29]Most of those skins came from black caimans. The black ones were preferred because their skin was larger and the quality was better. The leather was smoother. the color was richer, the price was higher.

[00:09:40]So, the hunters targeted them first.

[00:09:43]They killed the biggest ones, the breeding adults, the females guarding nests, the old giants that had lived in the same lagoon for decades. They killed them all.

[00:09:53]A study later estimated that between 1904 and 1969, at least 23 million animals across 20 species were killed for hide exports in the western Brazilian Amazon alone. 23 million animals. And the black caiman was among the hardest hit.

[00:10:09]By the 1970s, the black caiman was almost gone.

[00:10:12]Scientists estimated that 99% of the entire population had been killed. 99%.

[00:10:19]In just 30 years.

[00:10:21]The rivers that had once been lined with hundreds of giant caimans were empty, silent. The orange eyes had vanished from the water. The fashion industry had nearly erased the largest predator in the Amazon for shoes.

[00:10:33]To understand why the black caiman is so dominant, you need to understand how it is built. It is a machine designed by millions of years of evolution to do one thing, kill efficiently in water. Its body is flat and wide. This lets it lie just below the surface with only its eyes and nostrils above the waterline. A 20-ft predator can hide in 6 in of water. You could walk along the river bank and never know it was there, right next to you, watching you, waiting for you to step into the shallows. Its tail is long and muscular. One sweep of that tail can propel the entire body out of the water in a fraction of a second. The strike is explosive. It happens faster than a human can react, faster than you can turn, faster than you can scream. By the time your brain registers what is happening, the jaws have already closed.

[00:11:19]Its jaws contain between 70 and 80 teeth. The teeth are conical and designed not to cut, but to grip. They interlock like the teeth of a [music] trap. Once those jaws close, they do not open. The muscles that close the jaw are extraordinarily powerful. The muscles that open the jaw are weak. That is why you sometimes see people holding a caiman's mouth shut with their bare hands. It takes almost no [music] force to keep the mouth closed, but the force that closes it is among the strongest of any living animal. Stronger than a lion, stronger than a tiger, stronger than a great white shark, stronger than a grizzly bear. And it does not need to chew. It swallows. The caiman uses a technique called the death roll. It seizes its prey, locks its jaws, and then spins its entire body violently.

[00:12:03]This tears the prey apart into pieces small enough to swallow whole. It is one of the most brutal killing [music] methods in the animal kingdom, and the black caiman has been doing it for millions of years. Like snakes, crocodilians continue to grow throughout their entire lives. A black caiman that survives for decades in a remote stretch of river with no human contact will keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

[00:12:25]There is no off switch. The only limits are food and time, [music] and the deep Amazon has both.

[00:12:32]Here's the part that most people do not know. The black caiman does not just eat fish. It eats everything.

[00:12:39]Studies of stomach contents have found fish, snakes, turtles, birds, capybara, deer, wild pigs, monkeys, and domestic animals including dogs, goats, and cattle. It eats anything that comes to the water's edge. Anything.

[00:12:54]One study found the remains of an armadillo inside a black caiman. Another found the remains of a sloth. A sloth.

[00:13:01]An animal that lives in the treetops and almost never comes to the ground.

[00:13:04]Somehow it ended up in the stomach of a caiman. The black caiman is also one of the few predators [music] in the Amazon that regularly attacks animals much larger than itself.

[00:13:13]A caiman that weighs 500 lb will attack a capybara that weighs 140. It will attack a deer that weighs 200. It will attack a cow that weighs 1,000. The size of the prey does not seem to matter. If it comes to the water, the caiman will try to take it. This kind of behavior is extremely rare in the animal kingdom.

[00:13:31]Most predators avoid prey that could injure them. The black caiman [music] does not seem to care. It attacks first.

[00:13:37]It worries about the consequences later.

[00:13:39]Now, let us talk about what came before because the black caiman is not the first giant crocodile to rule the Amazon. 8 million years ago, something much larger swam in these same rivers.

[00:13:49]Its name is Purussaurus brasiliensis. It was a caiman. A direct relative of the black caiman alive today. The same family, the same body plan, the same river.

[00:14:00]>> [music] >> But it was not 20 ft long. It was 41 ft long, longer than a school bus. It did not weigh 1,000 lb. It weighed 8 and 1/2 tons. Heavier than a garbage truck.

[00:14:12]Heavier than three pickup trucks stacked on top of each other. Its skull alone was 5 ft long. That is longer than the entire body of most modern caimans.

[00:14:22]Think about that for a moment. Just the head of this animal was bigger than its living relatives from nose to [music] tail. Let that sink in. Its teeth were 2 in long and curved backward like hooks.

[00:14:33]Once something was in that mouth, it was not coming out. The teeth were designed not to cut, but to grip, to hold, to never let go.

[00:14:41]Scientists have calculated the bite force of Purussaurus.

[00:14:44]>> [music] >> The number is almost beyond belief. 5.3 metric tons of pressure. That is more than twice the bite force of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, more than any land animal that has ever lived. The most powerful bite in the history of life on Earth. When that jaw closed, it closed with the force of a hydraulic press. It could crush bone, it could crush shell, it could crush anything. Purussaurus ate everything. Fish, turtles, other crocodilians, giant rodents the size of a buffalo. And there is evidence that it ate giant ground sloths.

[00:15:17]Bite marks on a 13 million-year-old sloth fossil were so large and so deep that only Purussaurus could have made them. No other animal in the region had teeth that big. This creature ate 88 lb of flesh every single day. Every day.

[00:15:30]That is more than most humans eat in a month. This animal was the undisputed king of its world. Nothing challenged it. Nothing escaped it. And it lived in the exact same rivers where the black caiman lives today.

[00:15:42]The Purus River, >> [music] >> the Amazon Basin. The same warm water, the same flooded forest, the same prey-rich ecosystem. The first fossils were found by a Brazilian researcher named João Barbosa Rodrigues in 1892. He pulled enormous bones from the banks of the Purus River and realized he was looking at a giant. The creature was named after the river where it was found. Purussaurus went extinct when the Andes mountains rose and changed the landscape. The swamps drained, the prey disappeared, and the giant went with them. But its descendants survived, smaller, leaner, built for a changed world. The black caiman is what Purussaurus left behind.

[00:16:20]By the 1970s, the black caiman was nearly gone.

[00:16:24]The rivers were empty. The orange eyes had disappeared from the water at night.

[00:16:29]Where once you could see dozens of caimans on a single stretch of river, now there were none.

[00:16:35]Scientists feared it might be too late.

[00:16:37]The damage was too severe. The breeding population was too small. The animal was doomed. But then something remarkable happened. The world decided to act.

[00:16:47]International pressure mounted.

[00:16:49]Conservation groups raised the alarm.

[00:16:51]Scientists published urgent papers documenting the scale of the collapse.

[00:16:55]And the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, known as CITES, stepped in.

[00:17:00]The trade in black caiman skins was banned worldwide. No more exports, no more luxury leather, no more shoes.

[00:17:08]Brazil passed federal law 5197 making the hunting of all wildlife illegal. The penalties were severe. Enforcement was slow at first. Illegal hunting continued through the late 1970s and into the 1980s. Old habits die hard when there is money to be made. But the pressure was building. The markets [music] were drying up. The risk of getting caught was increasing. And in the most remote stretches of the Amazon, in rivers and swamps so far from human settlement that no hunter had ever reached them, >> [music] >> the surviving caimans held on. They bred in the old lagoons. They guarded their nests in the flooded forest.

[00:17:41]>> [music] >> Their young survived. And slowly, generation by generation, the black caiman began to come back. In 1990, Bolivia launched a captive breeding and reintroduction program.

[00:17:51]>> [music] >> 25 adult caimans were released into the wild near the Beni Biological Station.

[00:17:56]In Colombia, indigenous communities in the Curare Los Ingleses Reserve began their own protection program, guarding nesting sites [music] and counting the animals each year. By 2022, they had recorded 123 specimens of various ages.

[00:18:10]The population was growing. Today, scientists estimate there are approximately 1 million black caimans in the wild. 1 million. From 99% gone to 1 million. It is one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of conservation. But it comes with a warning. As the black caiman population has recovered, something else has increased. Encounters with humans. And not all of them end well. In the Brazilian state of Rondonia, a 13-ft black caiman attacked and killed an 11-year-old child who was playing near a stream called Igarapé Carapuinha. The attack was swift. The child was in shallow water. The caiman struck from below. The child's family heard the splashing, but by the time they reached the bank, the caiman had already dragged the body under. The caiman was later captured by environmental police. It measured 13 ft and weighed approximately 770 lbs. The autopsy of the child revealed multiple puncture wounds across the chest, legs, and buttocks. The teeth had pierced but not torn. The scientists who studied the case and published it in a medical journal noted that the attack was not provoked. The child was simply in the water at the wrong time. The caiman did not know the difference between a child and a capybara. It saw movement in the water. It struck. That is what it does. In Guyana, a researcher named Peter Hall documented an unprovoked attack by a large black caiman on an adult man who was bathing in a river at dusk. The man survived, but the injuries were severe. He lost part of his arm. Hall published the account in a herpetological journal as evidence that the black caiman should be considered a potentially dangerous animal. As the population grows, these encounters are becoming more common.

[00:19:38]Remote communities that had not seen a black caiman in decades are now seeing them regularly. Fisherman report caimans taking fish from their nets. They report caimans following their canoes at night.

[00:19:47]Farmers report caimans taking livestock from the river banks, dogs, goats, [music] calves. Children are told not to go near the water. The animal that was nearly extinct 40 years ago is now asserting itself again. It is reclaiming territory that was once empty, and people are remembering why their grandparents were afraid of it.

[00:20:03]>> [music] >> Scientists are honest about the black caiman. There is no mystery about whether it exists. It exists. It is real.

[00:20:11]>> [music] >> It is documented and studied and counted. The real question is how big can it get?

[00:20:16]The average adult male is around 13 ft.

[00:20:20]That is well documented. A 13-ft caiman is already an enormous animal. It is longer than a car. It weighs as much as a refrigerator full of concrete, but the maximum size is less certain. The largest reliably measured black caimans are in the range of 16 to 18 ft. Some sources cite specimens over 20 ft. A few historical accounts claim even larger.

[00:20:42]The problem is that the biggest caimans live in the most remote places, the places where scientists rarely go, the deep interior, the flooded forests, the blackwater lagoons that are miles from the nearest settlement. Nobody is measuring the caimans in those places.

[00:20:57]Nobody is tagging them. Nobody is tracking them. The ones that have been growing undisturbed for decades in warm water with abundant food. And because crocodilians never stop growing, a caiman that has lived for 40 or 50 years in a remote lagoon with plenty of prey and no human contact could theoretically be much larger than anything that has been officially measured. Some researchers have noted that the skin trade of the 1950s and 1960s [music] specifically targeted the largest animals. The biggest caimans were the most valuable. They were the first to be killed. That means the giant individuals were selectively removed from [music] the population. The ones that survived and bred were the smaller ones. The population that came back may never reach the sizes that existed before the slaughter. Unless somewhere in the deep Amazon, in a lagoon or river stretch that the hunters never reached, [music] the old bloodline survived. The one that carries the genes for massive size. We know the purussaurus reached 41 feet in these same rivers 8 million years ago.

[00:21:51]>> [music] >> We know the conditions that produced it.

[00:21:53]Warm water, abundant prey, vast undisturbed habitat still exist in parts of the Amazon. We are not saying there is a 40-ft caiman in the Amazon today, but we are saying that the biggest black caimans alive right now have almost certainly never been seen by a scientist. [music] They are out there in the dark water.

[00:22:10]Growing. A black caiman fits a pattern we have seen [music] before. An animal is common, humans hunt it to near extinction, the world moves on and assumes it is gone, and then it comes back. The American alligator was hunted almost to extinction in the southern United States during [music] the mid-20th century. Skin hunters killed them by the millions. By the 1960s, they were listed [music] as endangered. Then the hunting was banned, the habitat was protected, and today there are more than 5 million American alligators in the wild. They are so common that they show up in swimming pools and golf courses across Florida. The saltwater crocodile in Australia was nearly wiped out by skin hunters during the same period. The population crashed. The animal was considered endangered. Then the Australian government banned hunting and established protected areas. Today the saltwater crocodile population has exploded, and attacks on humans are increasing every year as the animals reclaim territory that humans had taken over. The gray whale was hunted to the edge of extinction by commercial whalers. Today, it migrates along the Pacific coast of North America in growing numbers, [music] and tourists pay hundreds of dollars for the chance to see one. The bald eagle was nearly destroyed by DDT and hunting. It was removed from the endangered species list in 2007. Today, it is thriving across the United States. The pattern is always the same. We destroy, the law steps in, the animal recovers, and then we are surprised [music] when it shows up in our backyards. The black caiman is following the exact same [music] path.

[00:23:31]It was killed for fashion. It was protected by law. It recovered. And now it is reasserting its place as the apex predator of the Amazon. The rivers that were silent for 30 years are no longer silent. The orange eyes are back on the water at night. And the people who live [music] along those rivers are remembering what it means to share the water with a giant.

[00:23:49]But the comeback is not complete, and it may never be, because the Amazon itself is under attack. The forests are being cut down at a rate that should terrify everyone. Every year, thousands of square miles of forest are burned and cleared for cattle ranching and soybean farming.

[00:24:06]The flooded forests where the black caiman nests and hunts are disappearing.

[00:24:11]When you cut down the forest, the water patterns change. The lagoons dry up. The temperature shifts. The shade disappears. The prey moves on. The caiman has nowhere to go, and the rivers themselves are being poisoned.

[00:24:25]Gold miners dump over 200 tons of mercury into Brazilian waterways every year. 200 tons. That mercury sinks into the sediment. [music] It enters the fish. The fish are eaten by the caimans. The caimans accumulate the poison in their bodies over their entire lives. This is called bioaccumulation.

[00:24:44]A 20-year-old caiman that has eaten mercury-contaminated fish every day for two decades is carrying a massive toxic load in its flesh, its liver, its bones.

[00:24:52]What does that do to its health? What does that do to its ability to reproduce? What does that do to its eggs? What does that do to the hatchlings that emerge from those eggs?

[00:25:01]Nobody knows for certain, but the signs are not good.

[00:25:05]Studies on other crocodilians have shown that mercury contamination reduces egg viability and weakens hatchlings. The same thing is almost certainly happening to the black caiman.

[00:25:14]We brought this animal back from 99% destruction. That was extraordinary. It was one of the great conservation victories of the 20th century, but we are now destroying its home while celebrating its recovery. We are poisoning the water while counting the survivors. We are building roads through the flooded forest while publishing papers about the population growth. The black caiman survived the skin hunters.

[00:25:35]It survived the rifles and the spotlights and the boats. The question is whether it can survive what is coming next, whether it can survive us.

[00:25:43]Think about what this animal has [music] been through. For millions of years it ruled the Amazon. Its ancestor, the Purussaurus, was the most powerful predator on the continent, 41 ft long, a bite that could crush a car, a skull bigger than the entire body of its living descendants. It dominated these rivers for millions of years before the mountains rose and the world changed.

[00:26:02]The black caiman is what survived, smaller, >> [music] >> tougher, adapted. It held on through the ice ages. It held on through the rise of humans. It held on through the arrival of Europeans. And then, in the space of 30 years, we killed 99% of them for wallets, for handbags, for shoes. We nearly erased an animal that had survived for millions of years because we liked the way its skin looked on a belt. That is what we did, and then it came back from the most remote stretches of the Amazon, from the darkest lagoons, from the places no human could reach.

[00:26:33]The last survivors bred. Their young survived. And generation by generation, the giant returned, 1 million strong.

[00:26:41]Think about that number. From 99% gone to 1 million. That does not happen with most animals. Most animals that lose 99% of their population are gone forever.

[00:26:52]The passenger pigeon, the dodo, the Tasmanian tiger, [music] gone.

[00:26:57]The black caiman came back. It is tougher than we gave it credit for.

[00:27:01]>> [music] >> It is older than we imagined. It is more resilient than almost any other large predator on Earth.

[00:27:06]And now it is out there. Tonight, right now, in the black water of the Amazon, its eyes glowing orange just above the surface, watching, waiting, patient, the same way it has watched and waited since before our species existed, since before our civilizations existed, since before our languages existed. The black caiman [music] does not care about our laws. It does not care about our fashion. It does not care about our mercury or [music] our roads or our cattle ranches. It was here before all of it. It watched all of it arrive, and it will watch all of it leave, if we let it survive. That is the question now.

[00:27:44]Not whether the black caiman can survive the jungle. It has proven that a hundred times over. The question is whether it can survive us.
