Caimen (Melanosuchus niger)

The Caiman is a subfamily and its closest relative of the Alligators, by a few defining features: a lack of a bony septum between the nostrils, ventral armour composed of overlapping bony scutes formed from two parts united by a suture. The calcium rivets on their scales make their hides stiffer, and thus less valuable, than those of alligators and crocodiles. Their skins are usually manufactured to be handbags, shoes or belts.
