Smooth-fronted caiman
Back in Georgetown after a long, long day of traveling yesterday. I have so many images to go through still, but I was able to edit a few while I was still in the jungle. The purpose of my short trip was to participate in a training program with Conservation International-Guyana to teach monitoring and identifiacation methods for reptiles and amphibians to members of the Protected Areas Commission, students from the University of Guyana, and local members of Yupukari Village.
During a short night river survey, we found this juvenile Smooth-fronted caiman (Paleosuchus trigonatus) which I brought back to camp to show the rest of the group in the morning. When I released it afterwards, I hopped into the water to capture a few images. Just a few snaps before it was off on its way!
