jak2002003 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 How come they are allowed to trap it, capture it and take it out of the wild, when just picking up a sea cucumber and a crab get you jail time and deportation? Crocodiles are native wildlife here and part of the ecosystem. The mangroves are protected area...so this crocodile should have protection there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
