What are the characteristics of a caiman?

Answer:

A caiman looks very similar to the American Alligator - short, U-shaped snout, wide eyes, and usually have red eyes and a bony ridge between the eyes distinguishing them from Alligators.

Most are small, but some like the Black Caiman can reach lengths in excess of 17ft!
