A few more pics of the dwarf caiman in the Amazon! I’m almost out of photos if you’re tired of these, don’t worry 😂. I just think this little thing is so cool! And check out those neck scutes in the second photo!! The dwarf caiman is a fascinating little crocodilian found in South America. I have not seen many underwater photos of them in the wild and I am pretty happy with this photo I took on my last Peruvian Amazon expedition, what do you think?? The second photo shows the heavily armored back of this diminutive crocodilian. As their name implies, dwarf caiman are relatively small, this one was just over 3ft long. What they lack in size they make up for in attitude! I have caught many of these caiman in South America, and even one in the wild in the everglades(introduced), and they are usually very fierce, lightning fast, and snappy! This one was the most calm individual I have ever seen though, very placid and allowed for many photos! I’ll be posting many photos of this individual! As I say about alligators, I am adamant that no crocodilian should be kept as a “pet”, even the dwarf species. It’s just not fair to the animals. If you want to join me on next year’s expedition, shoot an email to [email protected] for trip info. @mtamazontours Photographed with a Canon 90D and Tokina 10-17mm lens and @realoutex underwater housing! #dwarfcaiman #caiman #paleosuchus #trigonatus #peru #jungle #amazon #wildlife #animals #underwaterphotography #uwphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CWLh2gsFWrz/?utm_medium=tumblr
