Our hybrid saltwater crocodile is 11.5 feet long and weighs over 300 pounds, and she is still growing! In 2006, Grand Cayman received this unexpected visitor, the first crocodile seen in the Cayman Islands since the late 1950s. Smiley and her ancestors were originally called “caimanas” by early Spanish explorers, from which the Cayman Islands derived its name. Due to her being a natural hybrid, Smiley has two compartments in her enclosure – freshwater and saltwater – and she enjoys spending time in both. Crocodiles have a slow metabolism, so Smiley is only needs to be fed a couple of times a week, but feeding times are spectacular.
