15 Baby Spectacled Caimans Rescued and Relocated to Caroni Sanctuary

The team rescued 9 baby caimans from Munroe Road near to Low Cost Supermarket. We also relocated 6 baby caimans from the Cunupia area that were living in residential drains but also roaming into the residents yards. We took them to the Caroni Sanctuary for relocation.

Spectacled Caimans (Caiman crocodilus) are very common throughout Trinidad and Tobago, they grow to about 6 feet, some may grow up to 9 and weigh up to 120 pounds, these juveniles would feed on small crustaceans, frogs and fishes and move onto larger prey items as they grow older.
