The crew and I are headed off into the Amazon at night to try to find and catch one of the most prehistoric creatures that calls this rainforest home—the miniature crocodile, the dwarf caiman.
我和摄制组正准备在夜间深入亚马逊雨林，试图寻找并捕捉一种以这片雨林为家的史前生物——小型鳄鱼，也就是侏儒凯门鳄。
Guys, this is like a living dragon, and if we can find one of these, let's just say it's going to be a rare wilderness episode for the books.
伙计们，这就像是一条活生生的龙，如果我们能找到一只，那这绝对会成为我们节目中难得一见的荒野奇遇。
But first things first—we got to hike deep into the jungle and find some water.
但首先，我们得深入丛林，找到水源。
The Amazon is home to over two million different species of wildlife, so finding a dwarf caiman is like searching for a needle in a country-sized haystack.
亚马逊拥有超过两百万种不同的野生动物，所以寻找侏儒凯门鳄就像是在一个国家大小的干草堆里找一根针。
All caimans are opportunistic predators, eating almost anything they can overpower—from toads and fish to lizards and other small mammals.
所有的凯门鳄都是机会主义捕食者，几乎会吃掉任何它们能制服的东西——从蟾蜍、鱼类到蜥蜴和其他小型哺乳动物。
