*** About Caiman crocodilus: Caiman crocodilus, also known as the spectacled caiman, inhabits the waters of Central and South America. This reptile can grow up to 2.5 meters in length, mainly feeding on a diet of fish, amphibians, and other small animals. Its common name derives from a bony ridge between the eyes, which appears like a pair of spectacles. Caiman crocodilus plays a pivotal role in its ecosystem by helping control the populations of other species and contributing to the nutrient cycle through its predatory activities. Its skin has commercial value, although many caimans are now protected under wildlife conservation regulations to prevent overhunting and preserve their numbers in the wild.
