Early life differences in behavioral predispositions in two Alligatoridae species

Stephan A. Reber et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in early life behavioral predispositions between American alligators and spectacled caimans, which may be related to the protective effect of their parents and predator avoidance behavior. American alligators exhibited more exploratory activities when faced with novel environments and objects, while spectacled caimans showed more conservative behavior.
