Dwarf Caiman
Paleosuchus palpebrosus Fast Facts: Other crocodilians are hunted for their skin, but the dwarf caiman’s skin is so bony that it does not make good leather. Dwarf caimans are a keystone species, meaning they keep many other animal populations in check by preying on them. Dwarf caimans are ambush predators, sitting in wait for food to come close to them instead of chasing it. Cuvier’s dwarf caimans are found in 11 countries.
