Caimans also hunt insects, birds, small mammals and reptiles. Due to their large size and ferocious nature, caimans have few natural predators within their environments. Humans are their main predators, because the animals have been hunted for their meat and skin.
The decline in amphibian and reptile populations has led to an awareness of the effects of pesticides on reptiles and amphibians.

Synapsida [a] is a diverse group of tetrapod vertebrates that includes all mammals and their extinct relatives. It is one of the two major clades of the group Amniota, the other being the more diverse group Sauropsida (which includes all extant reptiles and birds).
Most amphibians begin their lives as aquatic animals which are unable to live on dry land, often being dubbed as tadpoles. To reach adulthood , they go through a process called metamorphosis , in which they lose their gills and start living on land.
