Biology - Animal Kingdom - Learning Points. Whether a caiman is male or female depends upon the temperature of the nest during its early development. If a young broad-snouted caiman is too weak to break out of its egg, the mother will use her jaws to crack the shell. Spectacled caimans leave their young in communal nursery pools, supervised by a single adult. If their nursery pool dries up, the adult spectacled caiman will lead the young to a new, deeper pool. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
