Cubans meet Brazilians: two Smooth-Fronted Caimans move in at SEA LIFE Speyer
In April two of the three Cuban Crocodile sisters were moved to SEA LIFE Hannover as they were not getting along well. Our spirited crocodile lady receives new company.
Two members of the Schneider’s Smooth-Fronted Caimans, which originate in Brazil were introduced into the existing crocodile enclosure. They are a male and a female and to ensure that there will be no trouble between the different species, the enclosure has two separate parts.
