Caiman blocking our path &quot;You cannot just *walk* into Mordor&quot;<br /> <br /> Our very first hike in the Pantanal saw this caiman coming out of the waters to block our path. We soon learned that there is nothing to fear, as there is so much food that they don&#039;t bother attacking anything that takes effort. As long as you do not directly stand next to his head, all is good. No guarantees though. Brazil,Caiman,Caiman yacare,Pantanal,Reptiles,Yacare caiman Click/tap to enlarge

The Yacare caiman

The Yacare caiman is a species of caiman found in central South America, including northeastern Argentina, Uruguay, southeastern Peru, eastern Bolivia, central/southwest Brazil, and the rivers of Paraguay. About 10 million individual Yacare caimans exist within the Brazilian "pantanal", representing what is quite possibly the largest single crocodilian population on Earth.
