Being used to the Spectacled Caiman in Costa Rica always surprise me to find this giants at the Upper Amazon. With over 12 feet of length this Caiman was not that happy to see us...

That is right amigo, the spectacled no more than 8 feet (2.5 meters) but the Black ones can reach out 15-18 feet of length (5-6 meters)

The flies always go for the eyes, don't they. The hide is too strong for them to make any impression anywhere else!

A fine image of this submerged hunter and the eye detail (and the fly) just makes the shot for me!
