During the educational outing we visited different places like Buritaca Tigrera, the bay of Santa Marta, Bachicha among others, in which there was a wide variety of vegetation, fauna and flora something that makes our city look the most beautiful.
In the middle of this tour we visited the trail in Buritaca Alunna Ugajeichi, where we saw the alligators were in the lake. This was very interesting, because this way we saw this animal, even though I had not left the lake.
Alligators are reptiles that live in warm, humid places, such as tropical forests in swamps. This class of animals have sharp teeth and powerful jaws to capture prey. They feed on a variety of animals ranging from insects to fish and frogs, turtles and birds.
We were also accompanied by civil defense guide, which told us that these animals had some customs, as was sleeping in the afternoon and that others did not come out of the lake when they felt a lot of noise.
Reproduction of the alligators is eggs. Mothers make a nest may be a hole in the sand or a small mountain of earth and dry leaves, grass and other vegetation.
We were told a detail of great importance, in many cases the mother is very jealous of the nest and newborn alligators, which is why he defends with all his ferocity.
We continually talk that alligators have teeth that are not served by chewing or cutting. Only serve to catch and hold. Also tend to hide under water dams. In this way it softens the meat so they tear. Finished swallowing the entire piece without chewing.
The tour guides told us that there were also other kinds of alligators as was the black caiman, who lives in the quiet rivers, wetlands and flooded forests, where is the food that is necessary for survival.
The black alligator is a reptile mainly nocturnal habits, with special adaptations in the vision that let you search for food in the dark. The animal is very agile in the water, but very awkward on land.
One very interesting thing they told us was that females had something in common, which was to defend her children fiercely, something that was very curious, because that way we relate to our reality.
There is great diversity of alligators as the following, since they have different lives:
• spectacled caiman.
• Black Caiman.
