(Caiman crocodilus) This is exactly the item you would receive. GREAT Functional and highly unusual collectible to use or display! South American Caiman Crocodile Vintage Purses (Rare) Tiny to small in size, vintage (circa 1950's), they used to be very popular as a collector item (stuffed, or as purses), now they are protected. "Caiman" is a Spanish term meaning "crocodile" or any Crocodilian. Despite pressure from hunting and also collection for the pet trade, however, existing surveys suggest that populations are in relatively good condition in most areas (e.g Venezuela). This seems to reflect the adaptability of the species, its reproductive potential, and the increase in available habitat through the removal of competing species and an increase in man-made water bodies (e.g Brazilian Panatal, Colombia, Venezuela). Today, only the Spectacled Caiman is hunted in large numbers in the Panatal area of Brazil, the others remain protected. The pelt can be removed from the purse for other uses. U.S. shipping only, no exceptions. No international shipping on this sale, laws on the books in other countries for alligator products makes it illegal to ship outside the U.S. Check out my store for OTHER ALLIGATOR STUFF!
