Baby Caiman Description

Baby Caiman mostly eats small fish, aquatic insects, crustaceans and snails. As they start to

grow up they start to eat  larger vertebrates, such as medium-sized. Mammals eat big fish,

reptiles, and birds. If the climate becomes very dry, and their hunting water becomes shallow,

they sometimes start to eat each other.

 

Baby Caiman looks like their mum and sometimes has stripes. Caimans can reach 5 to 20

feet in length and weight from 220 to 1100 pounds, depending on the species. Males and

females look alike. Caiman has narrow snout and bony ridges above its large eyes. Long

and flattened tail is used both for swimming and for protection against predators.

Black Caiman live in South America Caimans are native to Central and South America.

Found beyond the Amazon, caimans live in rivers, swamps and forests all throughout

Central and South America.
