Cocodrilo or aligator.
No.
The smallest alligator on record is the Caiman. There are a few different species of Caiman, but none get as big as a Crocodile or an Alligator.
I read somewhere that it comes from Spanish "el lagarto", meaning "the lizard". (Note that the modern Spanish word for "alligator" is "caiman", with an acute accent on the second "a" that I don't know how to type in here!)
Alligators are members of the family Alligatoridae, which is broken up into 2 genus. There are true alligators, of which there are 2 species, the American Alligator and the Chinese Alligator, and the Caiman, which there are 6 species, the Black Caiman, Spectacled Caiman, Broad Snouted Caiman, Yacare Caiman, Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman and Schneider's Dwarf Caiman
Alligator is el lagarto (a word for lizard) which is where English gets the word from. Crocodile is cocodrilo.(The South American name for the relatively smaller crocodilian is caiman.)
Spectacled Caiman? Scientific name: Caiman crocodilus
Yes.
a caiman
You probably mean a Caiman alligator? Caimans are relatives to alligators that live in Mexico, Central and South America. They are usually smaller than gators and not as dangerous to humans; the exception is the enormous black caiman from the Amazonian jungle. Actually they are Caiman Crocodiles there are no Caiman Alligators.
A yacare is a kind of alligator, also known as a caiman.
A caiman is a 6-foot-long alligator found in the Amazon and in parts of Australia.
