Just someone obsessed with Crocodilians, especially Black Caiman.
One of the mightiest crocodilians for its size, the Cuvier’s Dwarf Caiman (Paleosuchus palpebrosus). Highly territorial and quite terrestrial, they and the closely related P. Trigonatus are some of the oldest of the many extant crocodilian species. #Caiman

The American #Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), one of the largest crocs on the planet and the second largest predator in the new world (Beaten by Black Caiman). The average mature males length is about 4.39m. This giant I saw is Osama in CR who is the second largest verified of his species at ~4.85m.

Did not know this was an alternative to the well known “X”, seems a lot better.

Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus), about 4.5 meters long, one of thousands I’ve observed now.
