The Caiman lizard, also known as the water tegu, is a large, semiaquatic lizard found in South America. Its scientific name is Dracaena guianensis. The Caiman lizard is part of the Animalia kingdom, Chordata phylum, Reptilia class, Squamata order, Teiidae family, Dracaena genus, and guianensis species.
This species can grow up to 4 feet in length and has a distinctive, armored appearance with rough, bony plates on its skin. Its strong jaw and sharp teeth are adapted for a diet of snails, crustaceans, and other small aquatic animals.
The Caiman lizard is listed as “least concern” on the IUCN Red List due to its wide distribution and stable populations in much of its range. However, habitat loss and degradation are a potential threat to this species in some areas.
