so is open season to hunt caiman...

[nervewrecker]

I saw this notice on the newspapers over the weekend, was a notice from forestry stating that is open season for a number of animals.

my point is:

they just said caiman, they did not specify which one, isn't the spectacled caiman endangerd?

& while im @ it, I read that the spectacled caiman is salt water tolerent, has any1 ever come accross a caiman in the sea as yet?
furthest I've seen dem is by the river mouth in oropouche by the creek there....

[streetbeastINC.]

heard of one in north manzan...but i dont think they are capable of salt water survival....by me has millions...want one---

[.:PROZAC:..]

I'm not sure which animals are protected man. I grew up in Barrackpore, close to Moruga and eveything ws fair game.
As for them hanging around salt water... they're not fishes using osmosis and diffusion so they probably can survive.

oh gosh, leave hottgyul alone nah

Spectacled Caiman is the most common crocodilian actually, not endangered but at risk from habitat destruction. You're not supposed to shoot/kill/capture juvenile specimens though, average size for adults is around 5-6.5'

Black Caimans are alot rarer, i'm not sure if you're allowed to hunt these at all, seeing as they're listed as being "conservation dependent" i doh think hunting classifies as "conserving"

An adult black caiman is one of the largest crocodilians as well, 11-15' on average but a seriously big one is around 17'...i doubt any of allyuh hear short of joker moving with any kinda artillery to take out a 15 foot black caiman in one shot

[wagonrunner]

as far as caiman in the sea water goes, not to alarm anyone, but there are very rarely seen in the sea where the river empties next to pier II.

[Razkal]

^I can vouch for that

Saw one of these black caimans while hunting in the guaya forest last year. On the bank of the pilot river, really thought it was a crocodile yes- dem ting huge!!! When we approached it made a run and a dive into the river from about 10 feet up- never saw sumting so big run at that speed nah, very different animal to the normal caiman imo.

^yeah they pretty damn quick for some big mo' fo's with short legs.


^black caiman


^spectacled caiman

[Maserati]

that black one

[Razkal]

^eyelids closed
but yeah they look alot more menacing than the spectacled ones

[joker]

I WAS ALWAYS told that caiman doh be in saltwater ......





















THAT WAS A LIE ..... there a caimans in the sea .... but there are rivers close by ... so maybe they are a bit adventurous?

[Razkal]

^yeah they have a certain level of tolerance to salt water, after a while the membrane that protects their eyes when submerged begins 'losing water' and can be permanently damaged, among other sheit that can go wrong


To be quite honest, if i saw anything remotely resembling a caiman/alligator/crocodile in my vicinity in water passing my waist, i WILL scream like a beyotch and promptly die.

Those fcukers are sneeeeeaky

I've been in the water with sharks, baracuda, groupers big like me, but that crocodile scene....nah, not me and that sheit.

[mitsushima 5]

last year during crab season I saw 3 caiman in waterloo opposite the temple in the sea.

[joker]
