Endangered species Siamese crocodile spotted in national park

By The Nation

 

 

Siamese crocodile, an endangered species in Thailand, was seen recently in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi province.

 

A set of photos has been revealed showing a crocodile floating in the water and confirming that the species can still be found in nature.

 

 

Siamese crocodiles are mid-size crocodilians, three to four metres long. They used to swim around natural water habitats in the past but they were hunted until they are rarely seen today.

 

 

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) puts Siamese crocodiles into a category of critically endangered species in the IUCN Red List.

 

 

There will be a documentary to encourage Siamese crocodile conservation supported by the government organisation, private sector and the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Quick, take a photo and make it snappy!!

Wildlife...nature...environment...at least there are some winners in spite of this "<deleted>" virus. 

Is that a small inflation nipple I see behind it,s left ear ?

Quick there's a fat bloke with a big gun in need of a new wallet after over using it trying to avoid jail ????

Maybe they should have kept it a secret,if the Black Panther guy hears about,

it will be crocodile tail soup.

Rare in Thailand, but I thought all the crocodiles in farms in Cambodia were Siamese crocodile species?

Import a salties from Australia, they will not only thrive but will help reduce the human population that want to get too close
