Avaliação do risco de extinção do jacaré-tinga Caiman crocodilus (Linnaeus, 1758) no Brasil
Caiman crocodilus inhabits virtually all types of environments of low-lying wetlands in theNeotropics, being the most abundant species with largest distribution of all crocodilians in LatinAmerica. Besides Brazil, C. crocodilus is found naturally in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, ElSalvador, Guyana,...

| Sumario: | Caiman crocodilus inhabits virtually all types of environments of low-lying wetlands in theNeotropics, being the most abundant species with largest distribution of all crocodilians in LatinAmerica. Besides Brazil, C. crocodilus is found naturally in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, ElSalvador, Guyana, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru,Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela. It was introduced in Cuba, Puerto Rico and theUnited States of America. In Brazil, it is distributed from the Amazon region to the plateau ofIbiapaba, Ceará. The extent of occurrence (EOO) calculated in the Brazilian territory, is 5,006,412.4km2, however, may increase by an additional 479,749.2 km2, if studies of the taxonomic status ofthe species confirmed its distribution in the basins of the Madeira, Mamore and Guapore rivers (seeattached map). It is believed that the area of occupancy (AOO) is greater than 20,000 km2. |
