Caimans are reptiles that spend most of their
lives in the water. They live in freshwater habitats in South
America, including the Amazon basin and the Pantanal.
Caimans swim very well, mainly using their tails to propel
themselves through the water, and also using their webbed
feet.
Caimans hunt at night. They eat fish, including piranhas,
and also eat birds, turtles, reptiles, and mammals. They have
long, sharp teeth which are used for catching prey but swallow
their catch whole.
