Crocodiles

Thank you for your interest in a humane solution.

If you have a problem with a crocodile please contact Rasheda Garcia, the wildlife officer at the Belize Forest Department. The Forest Department will then contact and authorise the according organisations and individuals to assist you. You can also contact ACES or the Belize Vivarium for advice.

The number one reason for "problem crocs" is humans feeding them. Simply said, this trains them to look for food with humans, minimises their fear of humans and then leads to potentially life-threatening situations for other humans encountering this crocodile.

So, PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE CROCS (and tell your friends too)!
