A reptile similar to an alligator or crocodile, found in Central and South America and the Caribbean.
From Spanish 'caiman,' which came from Arawakan (native Caribbean languages) 'acayuman'; Spanish conquistadors encountered these creatures and borrowed the native word.
Caimans are like the crocodile's smaller, friendlier-looking cousin that lives in South American rivers—but 'friendlier-looking' is totally deceiving because they'll absolutely eat your arm if you get too close.
