Spectacled Caiman 🐊
-A large aquatic reptile, the caiman adult is a dull olive to almost black with yellow or black crossbands. Spectacled caimans live together in loose-knit groups but prefer to be solitary except in the mating season. They are nocturnal and usually hunt at night, being immobile most of the day and staying submerged. In the morning and early afternoon, they will bask on the shore. They remain in the same territory. Spectacled caimans are carnivorous and their prey changes along with their increase in size. They will eat insects, snails, crabs, shrimps, fish, lizards, snakes, turtles, mammals, and birds. Cannibalism can occur, especially during drought conditions, with many caimans of varying sizes together in small areas. Spectacled caimans are the species most intensely harvested by humans for their hide. Their skin is used for handbags, shoes, belts and wallets. But some are often killed because they look dangerous, which leads to many species being threatened or endangered. The Spectacled caiman itself is endangered in a number of countries, including El Salvador. The gender of the babies is dependent on incubation temperature: females from a temperature above 32 degrees Celsius and males from a temperature below 29 degrees Celsius.
