	Nighttime Caiman Search, Peru
		A caiman is first a reptile, and second a crocodilian, which can reach up to six meters (20 feet) long and prefers the warm, still waters of oxbow lakes and lower rivers.
		The fl caiman nest is a compound of tree leaves 1.5 meters in diameter with eggs arranged in two layers that are separated and apparently warmed by rotting leaves.
		Caimans can be easily spotted by their eyes’ red reflection in a flashlight beam, a common night activity at many jungle lodges.

	Refugio Ecologico Caiman, Brazil
		As a nature preserve, Caiman is home to the Projeto Arara Azul (Blue Macaw Project), which is designed to study and assist the development of the endangered species.
		The Caiman land is one of the favorite breeding grounds of the colorful bird, with as much as 36 percent of the species’ active nests.
		Caiman is also a working ranch and you’ll get the proof of that in the many excellent meals provided for the guests.

	NYC police capture 'caiman-in-the-box' - Boston.com
		In this case, "the caiman was cold, and we had to warm it up," said Richard Gentles, director of administration for ACandC.
		Gentles said the caiman would be turned over to a licensed wildlife care center on Long Island or in New Jersey that specializes in rehabilitation of reptiles and eventually returned to a natural habitat.
		Caimans are the most common of all crocodile species, found in lowland and watery environments in a vast region stretching from the southern United States to Brazil, according to one Web site on the species.

		Caimans have a transparent 'third eyelid', or nictitating membrane, that covers their eyes as they swim.
		Caimans range in size from the dwarf caiman (Paleosuchus palpebrosus), which typically measures 4-5 feet in length, to the fl caiman (Melanosuchus niger), the largest of the caimans, which may reach lengths of 16 feet or more.
		Some caiman species construct their nests beside termite mounds, and it is believed that they use the metabolic heat from the termites to keep the nest warm.

	CAIMAN
		A spectacled Caiman's common name derives from a bony ridge which is found near the front of the eyes appearing to connect the eyes like a pair of spectacles.
		Caimans swim very well, mainly using their tails to propel themselves through the water, and also using their webbed feet.
		Caimans are also common reptile pets, though the spectacled caiman often grows too large to keep as a pet.

	CiteULike: Economic Incentives for Management of Venezuelan Caiman (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Caiman are mostly a quick and easy source of income that complements cattle ranching, and there is little incentive to actively manage caiman populations.
		The only evidence that the income from caiman harvests generates economic incentives to protect caiman populations is that landowners sold the skins of caiman illegally hunted in other areas, so as not to reduce their own caiman populations and possibly diminish future hunting quotas.
		There is no evidence that caiman harvesting generates economic incentives to protect natural habitat, because caiman benefit from human alteration of savanna habitats associated with the much more economically important cattle ranching activities.

	Digimorph - Caiman crocodilus (spectacled caiman)
		Caiman crocodilus prefers wetland and riverine habitats, usually those with slow moving water; although it has adapted to nearly all wet lowland areas.
		Caimans are not particularly large, averaging only 2 to 2.5 meters long (occasionally reaching 3 meters in length).
		For example, Caiman crocodilus replaced the original name, Lacerta crocodilus; however, some workers prefer a third term, Caiman sclerops, due to the confusion engendered by using crocodilus to describe a caiman.

	caiman
		During specific night surveys caimans are sighted and their size estimated in order to obtain the proportion of juveniles, young adults and old ones in the population.
		The association of caimans with submerged vegetation and protected waters is also confirmed by the fact that the highest caiman densities in lakes are found only at highly spatially heterogeneous shores as those found on the south section of Luna lake (26.5 c/km).
		Current caiman populations showed a 2.5 fold increase both for creeks and lakes as compared with 1991/92 census performed by the author (46.2 c/km vs 17.7 c/km for creeks and 14.8 c/km vs 6.4 c/km for lakes) (Waller y Micucci, 1993).
