They can grow to around four feet long and have special teeth that crush the shells of the snails and crabs they hunt in the swamps of the Amazon basin. | London Zoo | Facebook

In the wild, caiman lizards eat invertebrates, snails, crawfish and freshwater clams. Our animal care staff feed our resident caiman lizard (named Student Scientist) a tasty diet of catfish, silversides, trout, snails, shrimp, egg, and occasionally fruit. His favorite food is catfish. 😋 On the menu today? Shrimp. 🦐 You can find Student Scientist at the entrance to the Rainforest of the Americas section at the Zoo. #Lizard #CaimanLizard #NomNom #SnackTime 📹: Ricardo Zurita | Los Angeles Zoo
