Yacare caiman basking in the sun. The Yacare caiman (Caiman yacare) is a small crocodilian found in central South America. Reptiles are cold-blooded and use the warmth from the sun and their surroundings to regulate their body temperatures. Whilst basking they often open their mouths to help with heat exchange.
