EDITORS COMMENTS
In this underwater portrait, the powerful and ancient presence of a Yacare Caiman, Caiman yacare, is on full display as it calmly gazes from the murky depths of the Rio Claro in the Pantanal region of Mato Grosso, Brazil. This magnificent reptile, a close relative of alligators and crocodiles, is a dominant carnivore in the South American wetlands and is well-adapted to both land and water. The Yacare Caiman's piercing eyes, half-closed in a relaxed state, reveal a subtle intelligence and alertness, while its wide, open mouth showcases its impressive set of teeth. The intricate patterns on its scaly skin, a unique combination of olive-brown and black, blend seamlessly with the surrounding underwater environment. The serene scene is further enhanced by the play of light and shadow, with the sun's rays filtering through the cloud-specked sky above, casting a gentle glow on the water surface. The Yacare Caiman's side profile, captured at surface level, offers a striking contrast between the wild, untamed beauty of the natural world and the graceful elegance of this remarkable creature. The Pantanal, a vast and diverse wetland region in Brazil, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular travel destination for nature enthusiasts from around the world. This Close-up underwater portrait by Sergio Pitamitz and Danita Delimont provides a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of this fascinating vertebrate, reminding us of the importance of preserving the world's precious wetland ecosystems and the incredible wildlife they support.
