The natural enemies of caimans
Caimans are small and medium-sized crocodiles and amphibious carnivores. Lives mainly on the edges of rivers and other waters. What are the natural enemies of caimans? Let's take a look at it together.
First, the natural enemies of caimans
Caimans have different enemies at different times. Egg stage: black-spotted double-necked lizard, crested longhorn, crab-eating fox, raccoon, long-nosed raccoon and hooded monkey. Young alligators: catfish and other carnivorous fish, indigo snakes, mustache turtles, toad turtles, tiger herons, white collar herons, night herons, American forest storks, South American mixed storks, Jebel storks, big black eagles, crab eating foxes, tiger cats and so on. Adults: black alligator, American crocodile, Orinoco crocodile, jaguar and greenbelt.
Second, the living habits of caimans
Caimans, like other crocodiles, eat food that varies with age, season and habitat. Young alligators and young alligators mainly feed on invertebrates, especially Coleoptera insects. Young and adult alligators also eat snails, shrimp and crabs. Semi-adults and adults feed mainly on vertebrates, including aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates. Predation strategies include lying still, attacking passing terrestrial vertebrates, lying in the water attacking approaching fish and other aquatic vertebrates, and sometimes using their bodies and tails to drive fish to shallow water or to narrow shores in open water to prey.
III. Artificial breeding
Caimans are raised in many countries in South America. Colombian farms produce 300000 to 450000 skins a year, and Brazil has set up more than 100 artificial farms. Caimans are also raised in other places except America. There are caiman farms in Taiwan, but they are all small in scale. Due to the low value of caiman alligator skin, the number of rapidly developed breeding is large, and the economic benefit is low, so some farms are difficult to maintain. So far, caimans and Yucca caimans provide legal crocodile skins for international trade, accounting for about 3% and 4% of the entire alligator market.
Caimans live in a wide range of water habitats and can be found in many places.
