The big crocodiles don't have to worry about predators.

[Does so]

Aren’t “Crocodiles” actually Latin America’s “Caymans”?

Hey Costa Rica, we have room in the Rio Grande.

With regards to the legality of hunting them, it’s only illegal if you are caught. No one gets arrested for killing crocs in Latin America. When they get to a size that is a threat to the community, they are killed and eaten.

I have three in a creek near my house, and they will be killed this spring.

"Aren’t “Crocodiles” actually Latin America’s “Caymans”?"

No. The caiman is an alligatorid.

[nickcarraway]

Do alligatoroids eat electric sheep?

This guy, VL, is weird.

Yes

Colombia wants to dump some of its Hungry, Hungry Hippos into Costa Rica. So, pretty soon, the Crocs may find themselves featured on an unexpected menu.

[DesertRhino]

No… crocs there are real honest to god crocs and not agitators or caymans.

[nickcarraway]

You are joking, right?

[Equine1952]

I’m pretty sure a hippo and crocodiles could get along there. They do in Africa. The USA considered bringing hippos into the south to fight water vegetation in the southern waterways and providing a meat source. It never caught on and it’s a good thing. Hippos are a bad mofo. There’s a million ways to die in the USA. No use importing anymore. Anywhere IMO.

Perhaps our intrepid columnist should adopt a crock.

[riverrunner]

They live in the same water ways.

That doesn’t mean they get along.

The croc photo in the article is very much larger than the countless number of caymans that followed our canoes on Rio Frio.
