The Orinoco crocodile (Crocodylus intermedius) engages in nesting activities during the dry season, typically from early January to early February.
Females lay 15–70 eggs in nests excavated in sandy riverbanks or sandbars.
Hatchlings emerge around late February to late March, coinciding with the onset of the rainy season.
This period is crucial for the species' reproduction and survival.
