The Caiman

Say "hello" to the Caiman, an adaptable crocodile cousin! The Caiman has a slim body that can reach up to 13 feet in length, and a long, slender snout used to catch its prey. Wrapped up in an armor of overlapping scales, it can not only withstand the harsh conditions of its home range from Central to South America, but is also well-equipped for a swim, with its powerful tail and webbed feet. Don't let the sharp teeth scare you, they're just perfectly designed for a diet of fish, birds, and small mammals!
