An irresponsible tourist unwisely bends down to touch the tail of a Spectacled caiman or common caiman on the edge of the Mutum river ( Rio Mutum) in the Pantanal, the world's largest in Brazil. Caimans are a common sight in the rivers and lakes in the wetlands of the Pantanal in Brazil. Their diet consists mostly of fish and water snails and is not known to attack humans unless a person is bleeding. The Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland of 42 million acres covering parts of two neighbouring countries, Bolivia and Paraguay. Brazil has the largest area of this pristine ecosystem. This vast region attracts much tourism for its abundance of wildlife, flora and rainforests which generates a lot of income into the local economy.
