[National Geographic] Caiman (가뭄 속의 카이만)
Venezuela
1998
Robert Caputo
“Abandoned by the river that once fed it, a pond-become-pavement affords a caiman???a cousin to the alligator???no refuge from the desiccating heat of the dry season. On this sunbaked plain, which sits only 8° north of the Equator, the soil temperature can hit 130°F [55°C].”
???From “The Orinoco,” April 1998, National Geographic magazine
