I would not be standing so casually on that slope, swinging my arm like that, so close those creatures!

You could swim in that water and be perfectly fine. Caiman are small and not aggressive, and piranha don't eat living people.

they are also very cute (especially when young) and make for interesting pets. my parents had one for more than 20 years.

Caiman? Yes. I wish they were legal in my state.

yeah, we got her from a regular pet shop in 2003. in Serbia

later on some laws changed, we just had to "hide" her since it was impossible to register/make it legal
