What is the difference between caymans and crocodiles?
Caimans belong to the same family as Alligators, and so are
usually smaller than crocodiles (although the Black Caiman can
reach lengths of 15 - 20FT!), they have smaller, U-shaped snouts,
and their jaws are designed for crushing bone. Caimans also appear
a darker colour (like alligators) than most crocodiles, and are
generally not as fierce. Hope that helped :)
