Nile Crocs can get up to 20 feet long and kill about 200 people in Africa every year. Authorities don't want to wait until this invasive species becomes a problem. Three Nile crocodiles, which are normally found in swamps and rivers in sub-Saharan Africa, were captured near Miami between 2009 and 2014, University of Florida researchers have confirmed through DNA analysis. Why are man-eating Nile crocodiles invading Florida, and how exactly did they get there?
Peace!

DeleteI didn't know you had native crocs in America xx
ReplyDeleteHi, Puss and Boots. Florida is the only US state that they are native to. Here's what Wikipedia says:
DeleteThe American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) is a species of crocodilian found in the Neotropics. It is the most widespread of the four extant species of crocodiles from the Americas. Populations occur from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of southern Mexico to South America as far as Peru and Venezuela. It also lives on many of the Caribbean islands such as Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Grand Cayman.
Within the United States, the American crocodile's distribution is limited to Puerto Rico and the southern half of Florida, though at least two have been found as far north as the Tampa Bay area. The current US population, estimated at 2,000, represents a significant recovery from a few hundred in the 1970s.
