Why Do Caiman Not Eat Capybara?

The main reason behind the unexpected truce is that capybaras are surprisingly good at defending themselves. They look harmless enough from afar, but they possess incredibly large and sharp front teeth that can inflict significant damage if need be.

“Capybaras have big, sharp teeth. Combined with their body size, I think they are just not worth the trouble and risk of injury,” explained Dr Congdon.

AI once told me it was because Caimans eat capybara feces. In case you were wondering how useless AI is

When in danger the capybara utilizes the feces defense mechanism to protect itself from attacks by drop bears or salties (the Australian Sea Crocodile Dundee)...
