Erfreuliche Entwicklung bei  Crocodilus acutus  in Florida


07.07.2004


Crocs Rebounding in Florida :  Scientists estimate that crocodiles in Florida have gone from a population of about 200 30 years ago to approximately 800-1000 this year, reports the Associated Press, 6/8.
That number could double during summer and fall with new hatchlings.
The positive increase led the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regional office in Atlanta to recommend the status of the croc be changed from endangered to threatened.
