Cuban Crocodile - Briley B

This crocodile is located only in the Zapata Swamp in central Cuba. This crocodile eats small fish and arthropods when its a small crocodile, and when its an adult it eats bigger fish, small mammals and turtles. The Cuban Crocodile lays eggs.

The treats are that wetlands and agriculture are being wiped out. Mass hunting pressure is another reason. This crocodile is being held in captivity to be conserved and being tested for other mating with other species of crocodiles. The National Zoo participates in a Species Survival Plan ( SSP) to held coordinate the breeding of this animal. These really nothing i can do because they are in Cuba and people are already trying to rebuild the population of the Cuban Crocodile. Bibliography- 1. National Zoo.si.edu 2. TheCubanCrocodile.com 3.
