I hear that the warm effluent from the Turkey Point nuclear power plant was a great place for the crocs to breed. When I lived near there, the manatees sure enjoyed it. Reptiles from the greater range are popular pets around the world. Crocs may be too big to be great pets. but they probably are eaten. Access by boat is probably the most successful approach.

I’ve heard of that nuke/croc symbiosis too. Proof that human activity is not always detrimental to wildlife.

It’s like Brown Bears and Caribou hanging out around the pipeline on the North Slope of Alaska. Animals like warmth. Only liberals think freezing in the dark is a good thing.

They used to sell stuffed Am. Crocodiles in FL. Bought one on vacation there when I was 10. Well, my parents bought it. Those could have originated from outside FL though I don’t know.

Turkey point has a full time biologist to track and care for the crocodiles located in the 68 miles of cooling canals.
They’ve been spotted in Key Biscayne, all throughout the 10,000 islands, the Everglades, and in Ft. Myers.
