Mushu the dwarf caiman enjoying some snacks! The Cuvier’s dwarf caiman is the smallest member of the crocodilian family, reaching an adult length of about 4 to 5 feet. Native to the freshwater rivers and streams of northern and central South America, this species is well-adapted to forested environments and is often found in slow-moving waters. Cuvier’s dwarf caimans tend to be shy and reclusive, often hiding under logs or in burrows during the day and emerging at night to hunt. Mushu spends most of his time under his little log cave. Their diet primarily consists of fish, amphibians, crustaceans, and small mammals. Although they’re small and cute, we do NOT recommend anyone try to get one as a pet, no crocodilian species should be considered a pet. I have long videos going into great detail, but the short of it is “pet” crocodilians almost always suffer physical deformities and awful lives due to improper care. ~~If you would like to donate to the care of the sanctuary animals, we greatly appreciate any support!!
