Caiman wannlangstoni is an extinct species of caiman that lived in what is now the Amazon Basin and surrounding areas during the Middle and Late Miocene. Fossils of C. wannlangstoni have been found in the Pebas Formation near Iquitos in Peru and include partial skulls and isolated skull bones. Other fossils were uncovered from the Urumaco Formation in Venezuela and the Laventan Honda Group of Colombia. The species was first described in 2015. Features that in combination distinguish C. wannlangstoni from other caimans include a deep snout, a wavy upper jaw margin, a large and upward-directed narial opening (hole for the nostrils), and blunt teeth at the back of the jaws. Based on the sizes of the skulls, its estimated body length is about 211 to 227 centimetres (6.92 to 7.45 ft).

  • Caiman wannlangstoni es una especie extinta de caimán que vivió en la Amazonia durante mediados y finales del período Mioceno. Los fósiles de C. wannlangstoni han sido hallados en la cerca de Iquitos en Perú y en la Formación Urumaco en Venezuela, e incluyen cráneos parciales y huesos craneanos aislados. La especie fue descrita por primera vez en 2015, y su nombre es en homenaje a Wann Langston, Jr., un paleontólogo que estudió a los crocodilianos extintos de Sudamérica por varias décadas. Los rasgos que en conjunto distinguen a C. wannlangstoni de otros caimanes incluyen un hocico alto, un margen superior de la mandíbula ondulado, una abertura nasal grande y dirigida hacia arriba, y dientes romos en la parte posterior de las mandíbulas. Basándose en el tamaño de sus cráneos, se estima qu (es)
