Growth of Caiman crocodilus yacare in the Brazilian Pantanal.

Growth of Caiman crocodilus yacare in the Brazilian Pantanal.

We studied growth of the caiman, Caiman crocodilus yacare, in the Brazilian Pantanal for 27 years between 1987 and 2013.We recaptured 647 of 7769 C. c. yacare initially marked in an area of 50 km(2), in two ranches.
