Spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus), Tobago Plantations, Tobago
But danger lurks for the birds of the lily pond, in the form of the spectacled caiman. (Never mind the birds, I nearly stepped on one myself!) Actually, although it will take birds, fish form the main part of its diet. Adults range from 1.4 to 2.5 m in length. It is widely distributed from Central America to Brazil and is closely related to the yacare caiman (C. yacare) of the Pantanal.
