		The llanos ecoregion covers a large elongated area 1200-1300 km long, that extends in a gentle curve in a northeast direction, beginning at the foothills of the Oriental Andes of Colombia and extending along the course of the Orinoco River almost to its delta at the sea.

		Reaching between 5 and 6 m in length and with unconfirmed sightings of animals measuring 7 m, the Critically Endangered Orinoco crocodile is one of the larger crocodile species.
