Broad Snouted Caiman
With its wide, rounded snout and striking greenish-grey colouring, the Broad-snouted Caiman is one of South America’s most unique crocodilian species. Native to freshwater marshes, swamps, and slow-moving rivers, it uses its broad jaws to crush snails, crustaceans, and other hard-shelled prey.
Generally more secretive than its relatives, the Broad-snouted Caiman prefers dense vegetation and shallow waters. While smaller than some crocodilian cousins – growing up to around 2.5 metres – it’s still a powerful predator in its own right.
At Crocodiles of the World, our Broad-snouted Caimans offer a fascinating glimpse into the incredible diversity of reptiles found across South America’s wetlands.
