Who would survive, Anaconda or Black Caiman?

In a hypothetical confrontation between an anaconda and a black caiman, there is no definitive winner, as both are formidable apex predators in their own right. According to Paul Rosolie, if an 18-foot black caiman and a 26-foot anaconda were to fight, it would likely result in a deadly stalemate. The caiman would slam into the anaconda and bite onto it, while the anaconda would wrap around the caiman and constrict it. Both would continue to fight until they likely kill each other due to the injuries inflicted in the battle 1.

Moreover, mature anacondas and black caimans generally avoid conflicts with each other. They understand the dangers of such fights and usually keep to their own territories unless forced together by unusual circumstances such as flooding 2.
