Orinoco Crocodile – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Orinoco Crocodile:
The Orinoco Crocodile is a critically endangered reptile native to freshwater environments in Colombia and Venezuela, in particular the Orinoco River and its tributaries. Males go to an average of 13 feet (4.1 m) long and weighing 840 lb (380 kg.) The females are slightly smaller. The Orinoco crocodile can be recognized by its relatively long snout, which is narrower than that of the somewhat similar-looking American crocodile. It is one of the larger reptiles in South America and the largest predator on that continent. While once common in their native range, extensive overhunting and habitat loss has greatly decreased it’s population. There are thought to be only between 250-1000 individuals in the wild and about 50 in zoos around the world.

Artist’s notes:
The Orinoco Crocodile was completed on 8.8.2014. Recently I wanted to draw a collage of animals native to the Orinoco River Valley in South America. While I hadn’t considered drawing another crocodilian, if I was going to select animals from that area I had to include an animal that was named after the river itself. The drawing is based on a photo by Roger Manrique and was used with permission.
