First, it is a reptile, not a mammal. The caiman makes grunts and hisses.
It is a very dangerous reptile that eats little people in Colombia.
When I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Colombia in 1963, a native taught me how to make a sound to call the caimans. There was a pond in the central plaza of Neiva, Colombia where they had several caimans and he demonstrated. There was an amazing response!
The sound he taught me is a guttural "swallowing" kind of sound, made with mouth closed, like you would imagine a frog would make.
I would love to attach a file of the sound. I have tested this in several zoos and it never fails to attract caimans, even under water, much to onlooker's amazement.
grunts
The black caiman hides in water and stays still like a log.

is a black caiman a second or a tertiary consumer
Yes. Large black caimans have been known to prey on adult jaguars and anacondas.
An adult black caiman only has one natural enemy: the giant river otter. In a pack, they have been known to attack adult caiman. However, young caiman are easy prey for a wide variety of animals, like giant river otters, anacondas, and even adult caiman.
The black caiman is aggressive and dangerous. It is recorded to attack people.
Stop buying products made of the caiman's skin.
