Broad-snouted caimans lay on the shore of a polluted sub-basin of the Canal das Tachas, in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Monday, May 22, 2023. Thousands of caimans, living in lagoons adjacent to what was once the Olympic Golf Course, are closely monitored by scientists, who hope to protect their numbers and encourage local residents to be environmentally conscious about living next to the scaly creatures.
