Distribution and habitat

Today, the Cuban crocodile can only be found in Cuba's Zapata Swamp and the Isle of Youth, and it is highly endangered. It formerly ranged elsewhere in the Caribbean. Fossils of this species have been found in the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas.
The Cuban crocodile appears to favor freshwater habitat such as swamps, marshes, and rivers and rarely swims in saltwater.

Hunting and diet

Small fish, arthropods, and crustaceans make up the diet of young Cuban crocodiles. Adults of the species feed mostly upon small mammals, fish, and turtles.

Saltwater crocodile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), also known as saltie, estuarine or Indo-Pacific crocodile, is the largest of all living reptiles, as well as the largest terrestrial and riparian predator in the world.

this crocodile can live in salt water, but usually resides in mangrove swamps, estuaries, deltas, lagoons, and lower stretches of rivers

Saltwater crocodiles are more territorial than other crocodilians, and are less tolerant of their own kind. Most crocodiles are social animals, sharing basking spots and food. Saltwater crocodiles do not fall into this category however, especially in the case of adult males of the species. They are extremely territorial and will fight off any intruders. The adult male will share his territory with a female.

Conservation status

Because of its resurgence, the species is considered of least concern for extinction. Currently, the species is listed in CITES as follows:

• Appendix I (prohibiting all commercial trade in the species or its byproducts): All wild populations except for those of Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea
• Appendix II (commercial trade allowed with export permit; import permits may or may not be required depending on the laws of the importing country): Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea wild populations, plus all worldwide populations bred in captivity for commercial purposes

Class:	Reptilia
Order:	Crocodylia
Family:	Crocodylidae
Genus:	Crocodylus
Species:	C. porosus
