American Crocodile Rescued in Belize

Video by the San Pedro Sun: ACES/American Crocodile Education Sanctuary captures a wild problematic 13 foot American Crocodile, Crocodylus acutus, that locals were feeding as a tourist attraction. The croc was then relocated to ACES in southern Belize by boat and then truck to a secure natural habitat where researchers and students can come to study these magnificent modern day dinosaurs. Otherwise the animal would have been destroyed. ACES is a non-profit organization in need of funding for more natural containment facilities. www.americancrocodilesanctuary.org

Thank you! 'George' is adapting well to his new environment and getting along fine with the other crocs. It feels good to know we saved his life.
