Thermal imaging of basking caimans (Caiman latirostris). The animals were captives kept outdoors at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Rio Claro, Brazil. The pictures were taken 26 June 2005. The weather was clear, with intense solar radiation; air temperature at the time the picture of the animal in (a) was taken was approximately 16°C (early morning), and air temperature at the time the picture of the animal in (b) was taken was approximately 25°C. In both images the colour was scaled to maximize contrasting temperatures, with background temperatures being the coldest temperature in each image
