Some more about auggie and his story #crocodile #cuteanimals #animal #wildlife #funnyanimals

Meet Andrea Torzon A senior at Michigan State University and Research Associate with the Crocodile Research Coalition in Belize, She focuses on Immunology, Ecotoxicology, and the critical role science plays in crocodile conservation. World Croc Day is June 17th together we can make a difference!

As the sun begins to dip low and the jungle quiets, one ancient soul swims silently through the water. Crocodiles are fascinating because they blur the line between crepuscular and nocturnal behavior.

I was fully prepared for a full-on Nat Geo moment, the perfect ambush. Instead, Einstein- a partially blind croc — casually wandered over to the dead agouti like an English gentleman arriving for afternoon tea. No rush. No chaos. Just pure etiquette. #crocodile #animal #wildlife

Aren’t mangroves so pretty!

A volunteer in Belize city rescued and released this croc!

Jaguar caught on security camera in Placencia, Belize. Wildlife is adapting to development. Luckily these areas are still surrounded by jungle

Striding into the weekend like… Crocs can be explosively fast when it comes to catching prey, but other than that, the are pretty chill in their movement, conserving energy for when it’s really needed.

What do American crocs want for Christmas suppa?

Today is GlobalGiving Tuesday, so why not donate to assist in providing food for CRC’s croc ambassadors, like Gilly. Morelet’s crocs are known to eat a lot of apple snails, but Gilly is a bit to bourgie for that, and loves a good piece of chicken. goto.gg/67554

Celebrating CROCmas in the spirit of giving! This Dec 2 on GlobalGiving Tuesday, CRC is looking for monetary support or donations of plants, man-power to help with upkeep or maintenance, etc to help us further our progress of the Placencia Lagoon Nature Center For more info, head to: goto.gg/67554

How a rescued baby barn owl says thank you!

Coexistence of wildlife is dependent on the communities receiving effective education about how to coexist

Loch Ness has Nessie, Placencia Lagoon has Charlie 😉 #croctober

Hamanasi got a little fish tail stuck in his teeth

Happy 4th birthday Auggie! He has become an amazing croc ambassador as he educates people about THE FACTS about crocs, squashing many misguided beliefs. And his story is one that creates empathy, in which ALL living creatures deserve respect, whether furry, scaly or feathery.

Did you know crocodiles are considered keystone species? As apex predators they are essential for keeping the food chain balanced, but they are also food for other animals when they are young. Birds, fish, and even other crocs will snack on small crocs. #crocodile #herpetology #conservation
