    Observation
  • A critically endangered Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) in a small cenote in Zapata, Cuba. As ocean's rise due to climate change American crocodiles' territory in Cuba is expanding and that of the swamp-living Cuban crocodile is shrinking. The two species are coming into contact more frequently and interbreeding and hybrid species are common. With only about 4000 individual Cuban crocs left in small parts of Cuba, it is likely the Cuban crocodile will go extinct soon, being absorbed by the American crocodile, without ongoing human intervention.
    Habitat
  • A critically endangered Cuban crocodile, Crocodylus rhombifer, in their natural environment - in this case a lush green valley.
