An unexpected find

Un hallazgo inesperado 🤠

During my childhood and adolescence, we went weekly as a family fishing, on one of the trips to fish in a lake whose name is "Terecay", taking advantage of the drought that hit our region, we walked a little more than usual and we went quite a lot to areas unknown to us, walking on the bed of the river that originally passed before they flooded, we found a complete skeleton of a slime (caiman crocodilus) the total length of the skeleton may have been around 2.5m which for this species is pretty big.

Durante mi niñez y adolescencia semanalmente íbamos en familia de pesca, en uno de los viajes a pescar en un lago que cuyo nombre es “Terecay”, aprovechando la sequía que golpeaba nuestra región, caminamos un poco más de lo común y nos adentramos bastante a zonas desconocidas para nosotros, caminando sobre el lecho del el rio que pasaba originalmente antes de que inundaran, encontramos un esqueleto completo de una baba (caimán cocodrilus) la longitud total del esqueleto puede haber tenido alrededor de 2,5m lo que para esa especie es bastante grande.

This story that I am telling you happened in the late 90s, the photo was taken much later, the skull we took with us, and it is currently in my maternal home, we really assume that the animal died of natural causes because there were no signs broken bones or something like that, the rest of the skeleton must still be there sunk in the riverbed. Here are 2 photos where the skull looks pretty good

*Esta historia que les cuento ocurrió en finales de los años 90, la foto fue tomada mucho después, el cráneo lo llevamos con nosotros, y está actualmente en mi casa materna, nosotros realmente suponemos que el animal murió de causas naturales porque no se veía señales de huesos rotos o algo por el estilo, el resto del esqueleto debe seguir allí hundido en el lecho del rio. Aquí les dejo 2 fotos donde se ve bastante bien el cráneo. *
