Abstract

Only one published study (Crawshaw and Schaller, 1980) has discussed the nesting biology of Caiman yacare. Most nests described in that study were found along the Bento Gomes River, on the border of the Pantanal, a large (100,000 km2) area of seasonal swampland of the upper basin of the Paraguay River. Because Crawshaw and Schaller obtained data on only 14 nests, within the Pantanal proper, I continued research in the 1984 and 1985 breeding seasons in the same geographical area, at approximately 56?59'W, 17?16'S in the Santa Isabel, Rio Alegre, and Jofre ranches.
