Cuban Crocodile - Crocodylus rhombifer


The Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) is a small species of crocodile found only in Cuba. Despite its modest size, it is a highly aggressive animal, and potentially dangerous to humans. Long- and strong-legged, the Cuban crocodile is the most terrestrial of extant crocodiles. Its preferred habitat comprises freshwater environments such as marshes and rivers.

This depends on which Aussie variety your comparing the Cuban croc to.
The Cuban croc is slightly larger and more aggressive that the Aussie's
fresh water croc (C.johnsoni), but smaller and less aggressive than the
Aussie's saltwater croc (C. porosus). This is a generalization and
temperaments between individuals of the same species can vary greatly.
