Resumen:
Caiman latirostris and Caiman yacare are two crocodilians species that inhabit in Formosa Province, Argentina.These first two surveys are attempt to determine spatial distribution, relative abundance and population size of both species.These studies were carried out during spring of 2002 and 2003. Night counts showed that caiman s populations have important densities for C.latirostris andC.yacarein this province. These surveys have covered a big part of the available habitat and these indicatethat populations of caimans in Formosa appear to be adequate to sustain management programs based on ranching.
