Morelet's Crocodile Species Profile

What Morelet’s crocodiles lack in size is somewhat made up for by their pugnacious nature. They prefer to avoid encounters with humans, but when cornered or attacked, their agility and accuracy in biting and maneuvering is unsurpassed their clan. Their wild numbers have dwindled severely from overharvesting due to the desirability of their skins when processed for fashion products.
