A caiman looks very similar to the American Alligator - short, U-shaped snout, wide eyes, and usually have red eyes and a bony ridge between the eyes distinguishing them from Alligators. Most are small, but some like the Black Caiman can reach lengths in excess of 17ft!

I think you're referring to caimans in your question. They look pretty similar to crocodiles and they can be as small as dogs. Caimans are actually miniature alligators, as they are part of the alligator family, Alligatoridae. There is another small crocodilian, the ghavial, which has a long, narrow snout. It doesn't look like a crocodile, though.
No...only caiman live in Brazil...caiman are crocodilians and are related to alligators. There are 6 different caiman species living in Brazil- the spectacled caiman, yacare caiman, broad-snouted caiman, smooth-fronted caiman, cuvier's caiman, and the black caiman. Of these 6 species the black caiman is by far the largest and is also the only species the poses a threat to an adult human. The nearest crocodiles to Brazil live in Venezuela (the American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus, and the Orinoco crocodile, Crocodylus intermedius).
The smallest crocodile is the dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis), which is native to Africa. It typically grows to about 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length and is known for its small size compared to other crocodile species.

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.
There was an incident where an electric eel and a caiman killed each other. The caiman bit the eel, but the eel shocked it with its volts. Both the caiman and the eel was killed.
The crocodile has three other relatives: the alligator, the caiman and the gharial
A young crocodile, yes, but not an adult.
Caiman, as in the type of crocodile. Flamingo, as in the tall pink bird. Monkeys, as in the primates.
