I think I spy that large tooth protruding from the lower jaw, so crocodile: "The easiest way for laypersons to differentiate caimans and alligators from crocodiles is to examine snout shape. Crocodiles tend to have V-shaped noses, while those of caimans and alligators are more rounded and resemble U's. Also, the upper and lower jaws on crocodiles are of approximately equal length, so the razor-sharp fourth tooth on the lower jaw usually juts out menacingly. The upper jaws on caimans and alligators are oversized, so their bottom teeth get covered up when their mouths are closed."

Hello. Please name the zoo where you spotted these in the Habitat or Notes fields. Thanks
