Altre informazioni

The Pantanal wetlands in Brazil are the world's largest tropical wetlands and it is a vast area rich in environmental biodiversity, harboring many endangered and threatened species. The Pantanal ecosystem is reported to be home to over 300 mammalian species, 400 fish species, 480 reptile species, 1000 bird species, and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates. Caimans (Caiman yacare) are common seen hauled up on the sand banks. This is a young one with its mouth closed, but they frequently can be seen with their mouth open, called gaping, which may be a cooling mechanism.
