noun

Caimán

A semi-aquatic lizard, of the genus Dracaena, found in South America. To differentiate from caimans, they are referred to as caiman lizards.

Examples :

"While hiking in the Amazon rainforest, we spotted a caiman lizard basking on a log, its distinctive green scales shimmering in the sunlight, which helped us differentiate it from a true caiman. "

Mientras caminábamos por la selva amazónica, vimos un caimán lagarto tomando el sol en un tronco, sus escamas verdes distintivas brillando a la luz del sol, lo que nos ayudó a diferenciarlo de un caimán verdadero.
