Pronunciation of Yacaré[edit]

The other day I heard something like "shacaray" on National Geographic. Is this the correct pronunciation?--80.141.28.153 (talk) 08:40, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The yacare caiman (Caiman yacare) is a species of caiman found in central South America. About ten million individuals, such as this one, exist within the Brazilian pantanal, representing what may be the largest single crocodilian population on Earth. This small-to-medium sized species feeds mainly on fish (especially piranha), but also eats birds, reptiles, and small mammals.Photograph: Charles J. Sharp
