$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Spectacled Caiman:
The Spectacled Caiman – also called the White Caiman or Common Caiman – is a large reptile native to the wetlands, rainforests and flooded forests of much of Central and South America. It can survive in fresh and saltwater, or a combination of the two (called brackish water) and because of this adaptability it is the most common of the crocodilian species in the world. Adult males grow to be about 5.9 to 6.6 feet (1.8 to 2 meters) weighing 15 and 88 pounds (7 and 40 kilograms.) Females are generally a little smaller. The caiman is one of the top predators in it’s environment, and it will feed on insects, small invertebrates, crustaceans and mollusks when it is young, and when it grow larger it will eat fish and even mammals such as forest pigs. While the Spectacled Caiman is not considered threatened, some of the other subspecies are such as the Black Caiman.

Artist’s notes:
The Spectacled Caiman was completed on 11.19.2012. A few months back, I decided to create a collection of animals of the flooded Amazon rainforest. While I had many different images that fit into this category, I wanted to add some more. I had seen caiman while on a trip to Costa Rica, so I knew that these large reptiles would be a good choice. The drawing is based on a photo by Valle Dorado Tours Costa Rica.

Olive Ridley Sea Turtle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle:
The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle - also called the Pacific Ridley Sea Turtle - is considered the most abundant sea turtle on the planet. These reptiles get their name from the coloring of their heart-shaped shell, which starts out gray but becomes olive green later in life. There may be more than one million in the world's oceans today. Compared to other sea turtle species adults are relatively small, weighing on average around 100 pounds (45 kg). Olive Ridleys can be seen at nesting sites on beaches all around the planet, generally in tropical and subtropical areas. When the females are getting ready to nest, its believed they use the wind and the tide to help them find the beach. Females will lay about a hundred eggs, and may nest 1-3 times a year. Olive Ridleys are mostly carnivorous, feeding on such creatures as jellyfish as well as small crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp. It is the only living species not considered to be endangered - although it is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as vulnerable.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
