In the US, all crocodiles except the two African dwarf crocs are considered "Class 1 wildlife." Class 1 wildlife refers to extremely dangerous things like tigers, chimps, giraffes, etc. Class 2 wildlife is generally less hazardous but can still cause significant harm - class 2 animals include things like kudu, bobcats, alligators, and all caiman...except the black caiman, which is class 1.
Gives you an idea of the discrepancy between black caiman and the rest.
>Nile crocodile and saltwater Crocs aren't class 1
morons.

anon its simply too moronic to be able to have an attention deficit
These are actually quite chill compared to other crocodillian species. whenever people approach them in the water their raise their tails to show off their size. I've never seen another crocodile species do this.
what if they raise their tail as an invitation?
Could be. These things are man eaters.
they could "eat" my "man" anytime if you catch my drift
It's only chill because it doesn't know Florida.
no that's yoshi from mario you can't fool me
Naw, Jaguars, giant otters, and hippos are the new meta down there.
I expect big things from the hippos down there in the coming years.
yeah, suure 😉
Those hippos are getting reallocated or taken down by the way.
They don't have enough money lmao and the window to control the population is rapidly closing. Most studies assumed a population of around 70 - 90 hippos but the recent report by the Colombian govt puts it at closer to 220 nearing 800 within a decade. With no dry season nothing can stop them.

They will only reallocate 70. The rest is getting shot in the head.

>The rest is getting shot in the head.
I don't know why they don't do this, governments pay money for killing lion fish since they are fricking the ecosystems.
It's just matter of time Hippos do the same and killing them is not easy task, just offer the money you were going to use to relocated them to pay hunters instead, the problem will be solved in mere months, if humans know one thing very well it's extinct animals
cant because "muh endangered animal" and "muh big game hunting", seriously you want something big dead, you can find some rich white guy who will PAY YOU to kill them
How does hippo taste?
That's what I was thinking too. Similar to pork? I'd try some BBQ Hippo chops or ribs
Is there anything we can do to help the hippos?
Donate to the people relocating them.
but I want them to stay
If they stay, they will eventually be killed, either humanely soon, or less humanely later.
Why can't they just be allowed to live in peace? It's not like hippos eat endangered bird eggs or something.
>Why can't they just be allowed to live in peace?
They're hippos. Peace isn't in their vocabulary. Also they're fricking up the wetlands.
except they endanger everything around them
whew
needs more jpeg
Cute.
What happened to its arm?
Not sure, I've readd an article saying he lost it to a shark (this is the same croc iirc) but I don't know how they're sure it was that rather than another croc or maybe a boat propeller
I dunno where the shark narrative came from when it's far more likely he lost it to another croc, especially since there's another big male in the area he contends with
>I dunno where the shark narrative came from when it's far more likely he lost it to another croc, especially since there's another big male in the area he contends with
That's what I figured. I'm honestly sure the extent of the "journalism" behind the shark narrative was "OMG, he's eating a shark. I bet he lost his other leg to a shark too. Super croc vs mega shark, so bad-ass"
Crocodiles lose arms to other crocodiles fairly often. They survive just fine without it.
That's a big fricking crocodile.
Don't salties grow to 6 meters with ease?
If they live long enough. IIRC they don't reach 6m until they're like 75 years old or something.
There's a couple of skulls in various museums that supposedly belong to 7m beasts.
hippo?
Yes, former cocaine lord hippos.
Hippos laying back against the rocks wearing thick 80’s sunglasses and gold chains.
All these animals would lose against a 5 meters black caiman.
b***h please
