Imagine being able to pick up a 6 to 8 foot(1.8 to 2.4m) cayman in your mouth and run away with it. For reference an adult jaguar can be 5 to 6 1/2 feet(1.5 to 1.9m) long.

Not just run away. Swim away. That was the craziest part to me. I would think the advantage would shift back to the cayman once they were both in the water but apparently not

The Cayman was already dead. That's why the struggle is so short. Bite straight into the brain.

That's how the cats do it, vulnerable neck point.
