Do you know the difference between an alligator and a caiman like our Kalyn?

Caimans vs. Alligators

Caimans are very similar to alligators, and there are only small differences between them. Caimans have more pointed snouts (noses), and longer, sharper teeth than alligators. Although the biggest species of caiman (the black caiman) is bigger than any alligator, most caimans are smaller. Learn more here.

Do you know how to play Where’s Waldo?

In this game, find each of our friends by pressing on the image where you think they are hiding.

Now let’s have some fun with a jigsaw puzzle of the book’s cover.

The grid icon in the center of the puzzle lets you change how many pieces there are. Hit the OK to start the play.

And now for a memory game – match up our Costa Rican friends with their names!
