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.
