As of lately, there has been a new species not so familiar to the United States, the NILE Croc which is indigenous to SOUTH AFRICA. After DNA tests, ti was confirmed! This crocodile species is the second largest existing reptile in the WORLD.
With the confirmation of this study could mean there are more dangerous crocs roaming the SUNSHINE STATE. Understanding that crocs reproduce quickly, Florida has expressed their caution. From the years 2010-2014, South Africa has reported 123 fatal attacks from this one species alone!
Although, the crocodile poses a threat to the citizens of Florida, it is important to treat this situation with care. Much like the conservationist movement during Theodore Roosevelt's presidential term, the conservation and care of these wild creatures, the NILE CROCS.
