Crocodiles in Gibraltar? Baby caiman rescued after being kept illegally

The baby crocodilian female — a Cuvier’s Dwarf Caiman — was housed in a man-made enclosure. Although small, these caimans have powerful jaws and sharp teeth, and are not considered suitable pets — especially in built-up areas like Gibraltar. Had it escaped, it could have posed a serious risk to pets and small children, particularly if cornered or frightened.
