This species inhabits a variety of freshwater environments including rivers, lakes, and marshes. Spectacled caimans are generally smaller than other crocodile species, with males reaching up to about 2.5 meters in length and females being slightly smaller. They play a critical role in their ecosystems as both predators and prey. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their habitats from pollution and encroachment, which are persistent threats despite their current classification as a species of least concern by the IUCN Red List.:
