caiman.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced a 12-month finding on a petition and a proposed rule to reclassify the broad-snouted caiman population in Argentina from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The Service proposes to establish the Argentina population of the broad-snouted caiman as a distinct population segment of this species. Intense management of the broad-snouted caiman in Argentina has been successful in increasing the population of this species.
