They are referring to Spectacled X Yacare Caiman hybrids.

Some people claim these to be more docile and to achieve a smaller adult size than either of the purebred parents.

This claim is of course false and is simply a marketing tool.

21 out of 23 very impressive. I'm jealous.

However the 2 you are lacking happen to be 2 of my very favorite.

You have to get one or the other.

Aggression among crocodilians as in most other animals varies with each individual. I agree that certain species do however tend to be more aggressive. I agree that Salts are pretty fiesty.

I've only had 3 New Guineas and the biggest is only 6 feet. But they don't seem to be that aggressive. And Dwarf Crocs, I've only been around about 6 but they were big adults and they were all fairly docile. Palps I agree seem to be calm but Trigs are some of the scariest crocs out there.

I have 2 young adult female Siamese and they are very aggressive.

American gators of course are probably the calmest of them all.

Specs and Yacares are both pretty fiesty of course they don't get that big but are still extremely dangerous.

The most important point I agree with, not everyone needs a crocodilian. D.C.
