Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman

These are pretty incredible John. Do you travel around for these... or have one of the world's largest (and coolest) collections?

They look so cool, but don't believe I would ever keep them. But the picture are great.

Nice pics! I can never get over just how alien Gharials look... They look like a crocodile at first, until you notice all the minor differences... very fascinating creatures.

Thanks!

Brian - Currently, I don't keep any herps. Most of the photos are of animals I've photographed or had the opportunity to work with.

Mike - I agree with you, the gharials look alien especially mature males. A female is pictured above, a mature male is pictured below. The bulbous swelling around the mature male's nostrils is used to produce sound.

Amazing pics John!!

Thanks! The animals get all the credit, I just click the shutter.
