Yellow-throated caiman

This alligator is found in regions of South America, especially in Brazil, in habitats such as swamps, rivers, lakes, and wetlands, including the Atlantic Forest, the Pantanal, and the Cerrado.

They are semi-aquatic animals, spending most of their time in bodies of water, but they also venture onto land. They are opportunistic predators and have nocturnal habits. They tend to be solitary, except during the mating season.

The broad-snouted caiman is a medium-sized reptile, reaching up to 3 meters in length. Its coloration is dark green with black spots, and it has a yellowish throat, which gives it its name. It has a broad, flattened snout, characteristic of caimans.
