Crocodylus acutus
Photo take in a crocodile farm near town,this farm star around 20 years ago when local people bring small crocks, snakes and other animals injured to this place for help. There is this family that star to take care of the animals till today, now they have over 100 American crocodiles, reptiles, birds, dears and , monkeys today is a tourist zoo to afford the small park. Many are not endemic species. .American crocodile is a quadruped, with four short, splayed legs, a long, powerful tail and a scaly hide with rows of ossified scutes running down its back and tail. Its snout is elongated and includes a strong pair of jaws. Its eyes have nictitating membranes for protection along with lachrymal glands, which produce tears.he nostrils, eyes, and ears are situated on the top of its head, so the rest of the body can be concealed underwater for surprise attacks. Camouflage also helps them prey on food. The snout is relatively longer and narrower than the American alligator.
Populations occur from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of southern Florida, Mexico to South America as far as Peru and Venezuela. Wikipedia.
