Spectacled Caiman Laying on the Ground

A spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus, also commonly known as a white or common caiman) laying on the ground of its enclosure at the Artis Royal Zoo. This species gets its name from a bony ridge between its eyes, which lends it the appearance of wearing eyeglasses.
