	3.3 Caimans
		The average variation in population densities (No./ha of water surface) on 19 farms in the Venezuelan llanos ranged from 57 to 1 119, and crude density (No./ha of farm area) from 0.07 to 15.4 (31, 530, 562).
		Hunting: Spectacled caiman are usually hunted at night from canoes, as the hunters can get much closer than in the daytime and can easily find the animals by their eyes which shine red in the torch beam.
		The features of spectacled caiman life history, as for the other major reptiles, are high reproductive capacity, high mortality at the egg and neonate stage, a long preamble to sexual maturity and low adult mortality.

		Caiman yacare is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia.
		However, yacare caiman habitat is very extensive and the species is so widespread that it is very unlikely that the species is presently endangered or threatened because of the destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range.

	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).
		Caimans separated from other alligators approximately 30 million years ago.

		Increments in the relative abundance and/or an increase in the average age/size of the population are interpreted as a positive trend.
		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).

		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.

		Ranching of caiman (Caiman yacare and C. latirostris) in the Argentine Humid Chaco is being developed by the local NGO, Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina (FVSA) at Estancia “El Cachapé”, as a wildlife sustainable use project directed towards wetland ecosystem conservation.
		With quotas on the harvest of wild caiman nests and captive incubation and raising of youngsters, this ranching system intends to provide enough young to both satisfy market demands and the restocking of wild populations.
		All caiman were strongly positive to L. Sarmin, and the highest antibody titers were found in five captive C. latirostris.

		The yacare is similar in appearance to Caiman crocodilus, and reaches a total length of 2.5 to 3 m.
		Female yacares build mound nests, into which 21 to 38 eggs are usually laid, which they guard during incubation.
		The yacaré caiman is currently not threatened with extinction and zoos keep the species primarily for educational purposes and as an ambassador species for their threatened freshwater habitats.

		In Central and South America alligators are represented by five species of the genus Caiman, which differs from the alligator by the absence of a bony septum between the nostrils, and the ventral armour is composed of overlapping bony scutes, each of which is formed of two parts united by a suture.
		The largest, attaining an enormous bulk and a length of 20 ft., is the C.

		The extensive long-term and short-term movements by caimans mean that individual ranches should not be considered independent management units for sustained use of caimans in the Pantanal.

	Traffic Bulletin: Vol. 17, No. 3 (January 1999)
		The US Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to reclassify the Yacare Caiman Caiman yacare from its present Endangered status to Threatened status under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) because the current listing does not correctly reflect the present status of this animal.
		The Yacare is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia and the other two caimans occur in Mexico and Central and South America.
		The purpose of the special proposed rule is twofold: one is to promote the conservation of the Yacare Caiman by ensuring proper management of the commercially harvested caiman species in the range countries and through implementation of trade controls as described in the CITES tagging resolution to reduce commingling of caiman specimens.

		The claimants have raised as an affirmative defense that the hides are Caiman crocodilus crocodilus.
		The court makes no finding with respect to whether the subspecies of the hides is crocodilus or yacare, other than the preliminary finding that the government had probable cause to believe that the hides were of the subspecies yacare and hence subject to forfeiture.
