They were named after the Carib word for a marine crocodile that once was found in the Cayman Islands. The species is Crocodylus rhombifer. They are believed to have been wiped out in the Cayman Islands, but might still be found in Cuba. They are on the endangered species list.

Not sure but Cayman/Caimans are crocodilians.
