A walker in the Liège municipality of Oupeye claims that he has seen a caiman of 1.5 meters in a nature reserve. The municipality takes the report seriously, because there are also other exotic animals in the area.
For the time being, visitors are no longer allowed to enter the Gravière Brock nature reserve. On Wednesday night, an expert will see if he can find the crocodile -like animal. Belgian media write that, including the De Standaard newspaper. Reptiles like the Cayman are mainly active at night.
Initially, the mayor and the police of Oupeye thought it was a joke, but on closer inspection they took the report seriously. The walker turns out to be a connoisseur of reptiles. His dog was shocked when he saw the animal lying on the shore.
It could be that someone who kept the caiman as a pet deported the animal. According to the mayor there are also other exotic animals, such as turtles.
Because the water in the former gravel quarry is relatively hot, the animals can survive there. In the wild, the caiman is found in Central and South America. The Kaaiman in the photo with this message lives in Brazil.
A reptile expert advises people in the newspaper Het Nieuwsblad to look for the animal in Liège. “A caiman is fast and can bite ugly,” says the connoisseur. “He will not attack a person to eat, but he will defend himself.”
