Silent and fearsome, the caiman is an iconic reptile of the rivers and swamps of Central and South America. Smaller than the alligator or crocodile, it is distinguished by its narrow snout and robust scales that protect it from predators.
A patient hunter, it remains motionless for hours on the water's surface, with only its eyes and nostrils protruding, before swooping down on its prey. Surprisingly, despite its menacing appearance, the caiman plays a vital role in its ecosystem by regulating fish and amphibian populations. Some species can even climb onto the banks to bask in the sun or dig burrows to lay their eggs.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the caiman: detailed scaly skin, sharp teeth and creeping posture. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent exciting stories or to educate children about the diversity of the reptile world.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
