On the 10th day of CROCmas… Living amongst wetlands and freshwater ecosystems in Venezuela, the Orinoco croc loves to bite down on a nice size crab. A nice crab dish for the holidays would be Rompe Colchón, a local dish that includes sautéed garlic or onion, served over rice or plantains.

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

Please do not feed crocodiles! If there is an attack, the crocodile isn’t the problem, the problem is the irresponsible behavior of humans

CROCtober fact: there is a close relationship bw iron&arsenic, especially in groundwater, & its turns crocs orange! Arsenic contamination of groundwater in Nepal is an issue that negatively affects different communities, & so high enough levels of iron, like this, can be a red flag for arsenic too.
