Yacare caiman
Caiman yacare
The yacare caiman is a medium-sized semi-aquatic reptile (up to 2 m long), recognizable by the bony ridge between its eyes that resembles eyeglasses. Found in South America (northern Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay), it inhabits freshwater marshes, lakes, rivers, and floodplains. An opportunistic omnivore, it feeds on fish, crustaceans, birds, and small mammals. During the breeding season, males produce deep grunts and aggressively defend aquatic territories, while females build vegetation nests and lay 20–40 eggs.
Yucatán Spiny-tailed Iguana
Ctenosaura defensor
The Ctenosaura defensor, or Yucatán Spiny-tailed Iguana, is a lizard species endemic to Mexico, primarily found in arid and semi-arid regions. This reptile is recognizable by its tail covered with spiny scales, providing it with a unique appearance and protection against predators. Its coloration ranges from gray to brown, with darker patterns that allow it to blend effectively into its natural environment. The spiny-tailed iguana is mainly herbivorous, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruits, although it may occasionally consume insects. It is diurnal and spends most of its time basking in the sun to regulate its body temperature.
