Description
Dwarf caiman skull replica measures 8.3 x 4.7 x 3.3 inches. The Paleosuchus palpebrosus skull is a museum-quality polyurethane cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The dwarf caiman is native to northern and central South America. Populations inhabit Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Surinam and Venezuela.
It lives in riverine forests, flooded forests near lakes, and near fast-flowing rivers and streams.
The Paleosuchus palpeborsus can traverse dry land to reach temporary pools and tolerates colder water than other species of alligator.
The Dwarf caiman has an unusual shape for a crocodilian, with a dome-shaped skull and a short, smooth, concave snout with an upturned tip, the shape rather resembling the head of a dog.
