Croc Hybrids

Somewhat a noob to crocodilians and I am curious to know if there is any record of Caimans having crossed with Alligators (or vice versa)or if there has ever been a leucistic caiman ever produced.

I heard about a adult albino P. trigonatus a couple years back that is in the USA.

The odd looking probably t albino P. palpebrosus baby from back around 2005 was said to be wild caught in Guyana but more likely Suriname, this caiman didnt belong to Strictly.

Tom Crutchfield had either a leucistic or albino Spec caiman (I believe albino) which he sent to a friend in Thailand. The caiman did die before it could be bred.

There was a leucistic Spec caiman offered back in the mid 90's from some SA country (I forget which).

There are a number of albino yacare in exsistance, 8 or so in Brazil (which many were recently stolen and a couple in Thailand)

I remember the poster back in the 80's but it was a leucistic Spec caiman shown on the poster if I recall correctly.
