Hi guys. Aarish here. Our lesson today is about endangered animals.
There is a lot of endangered animals on my list including Gharial (critically endangered) which lives in Nepal and northern India, Siamese Crocodile (critically endangered) lives in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Viet Nam, Amur Leopard (critically endangered) live in China, and the White-Spotted Izak (endangered) live in western Indian Ocean, but today we will be talking about the Cuban Crocodile, which is critically endangered. The benefits of this amazing creature is maintaining the integrity of this ecosystem. Sadly, there are only 2,400 Cuban Crocodiles left in the wild.
The Cuban Crocodile can reach lengths of up to 7.5 ft and weigh up to 80 kg. Cuban Crocodiles inhabit freshwater swamps and streams of the Zapata Swamp in inland Cuba. This species of crocodile has little range and is the most endangered crocodile in the world. Although this species lives in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, it spends most of its time on land, where it is a capable walker, runner, and jumper. Adult cuban crocodiles can eat birds, fish, other reptiles, and pretty much everything that can fit in its mouth. Cuban crocodiles can even become hybrids with Nile Crocodiles, American Crocodiles, Saltwater Crocodile, and Siamese Crocodiles. Cuban crocodiles are in decline, primarily because it has such a small and restricted habitat. Their main threat is humans, who have hunted the crocodile extensively and largely encroached upon their habitats. Humans hunt these crocodiles because of their skin. Some experts have estimated that the Cuban Crocodile population is 2,400 and reported that this species has declined by more than 80 percent! We can help Cuban Crocodiles by including protective laws that prevent the intentional killing or harming of the animals, and establishing national parks to protect the habitat of native wildlife and plants.
