Spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus) is a small crocodilian found in Central and South America, named for the ridge between its eyes resembling glasses. Reaching up to 2.5 meters, it has olive-brown scales and thrives in wetlands and rivers. A carnivore, it preys on fish, birds, and small mammals, helping balance aquatic ecosystems. Classified as Least Concern, it adapts well but faces threats from habitat loss and poaching.
