Siamese Crocodile

Information about the Siamese Crocodile:

The Siamese crocodile is a small, freshwater crocodile native to Indonesia (Borneo and perhaps Java), Brunei, East Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Thailand, and Vietnam. They are native to a wide range of freshwater habitats, including slow-moving rivers and streams, lakes, seasonal oxbow lakes, marshes and swamplands. Due to habitat loss and overhunting, the species is critically endangered and already extirpated from many regions. Its other common names include: Siamese freshwater crocodile, Singapore small-grain, cocodrilo de Siam, crocodile du Siam, buaja, buaya kodok, jara kaenumchued, and soft-belly. The reptile has a relatively broad, smooth snout and an elevated, bony crest behind each eye. Overall, it is an olive-green color, with some variation to dark-green. Young specimens measure 3.9–4.9 feet (1.2–1.5 m) and weigh 13–26 lb (6–12 kg) Adult can measure up to nearly 7 feet (2.1 m) and a weigh 88–150 pounds (40–70 kg). Most adults do not exceed 3 m (10 ft) in length, although hybrids in captivity can grow much larger. The historic range of the Siamese crocodile included most of Southeast Asia, but now it's extinct - or nearly so - in the wild in most countries except Cambodia.
