CommentDistribution: Caiman crocodilus may be an occasional vagrant to the Grenada Bank. Not in Colombia (West Choco region) despite a report by F. Castro, pers. comm., 17 May 2013. Not in Oaxaca (Escobedo-Galván et al. 2015).

Subspecies after MEDEM 1983 and KING & BURKE 1989. Caiman crocodilus chiapasius is listed as a synonym of C. c. fuscus by WERMUTH & MERTENS 1977.

Invasive species: Caimans have been introduced to Florida as pets and recently have been identified as Caiman crocodilus fuscus, indicating the Magdalena River basin in Colombia as the most likely area of origin (Joventino Roberto et al. 2021).

Abundance: this is one of the species called “lost” and “rediscovered” by Lindken et al. 2024. 
EtymologyThe name crocodilus is apparently classical Latin for crocodile or lizard and is derived from the Greek word krokodeilos.

C. c. apaporiensis was named after the type locality, Rio Apaporis.

C. c. chiapasius was named after the distribution in coastal Chiapas.

C. c. fuscus was named after Latin fuscus = dark or dusky.
