A 1.90-meter, 30-kg broad-snouted caiman nearly bit a motorcyclist during Saturday’s storm (7) in Taquara, Rio de Janeiro. Security cameras captured the moment near Rua Outeiro Santos.
The animal was captured by a Fire Department sergeant and an agent from Instituto Jacaré. After it was identified and biometric data was collected, it was released into Jacarepaguá Lagoon. Residents say this is the second reptile to appear on the grounds of a local residential complex in less than a month due to overflowing waters.
