      　　眼鏡凱門鱷原產於中、南美洲，因眼睛前端有一條橫骨，就像眼鏡架一樣，因而得名。眼鏡凱門鱷全長最大可達2.8公尺，成體背面橄欖綠色，雜有不甚規則的深色斑紋，尾部則有深色橫斑，腹面則為米色或者淺黃色。剛出生的幼鱷下頜兩側具淡色斑，此淡色斑會隨其成長慢慢消失。
      　　眼鏡凱門鱷喜棲於廣擴的水域地區。成年眼鏡凱門鱷以脊椎動物為食，包括水生及陸生的脊椎動物。幼鱷主要是以無脊椎動物為食，包括昆蟲、螺、蝦及蟹等。雌鱷每次可產多達43顆的蛋，孵化期間雌鱷守在巢穴附近保護巢穴。幼鱷孵出時會發出叫聲，此時雌鱷將巢挖開並用嘴巴含著幼鱷牠們送進水中，有時雌鱷還會用嘴把蛋殼弄破，幫助掙扎中的幼鱷破殼出來。
