    Interesting Insights
    The crocodile balances the ecosystem
    of the area by consuming certain fish
    and frogs and other species and the
    croc is therefore maintaining the circle
    of life and if the crocodile becomes
    extinct there will be a change in the
    ecosystem and overpopulation of
    certain species which could lead to a
    bad end result. Also the crocodiles
    can enrich the waters with certain
    nutrients and by killing certain
    organisms. Also by consuming the
    species they do they will also make
    more species thrive.

    Habitat loss and deforestation are big


    reasons on why they are becoming
    extinct. These animals are only found
    in the Philippines. So if they are only
    found in one place and we are ruining
    that place with deforestation and
    modernization. (critically endangered)
    Estimated 250 left in the world
    including captivity there are only 150200 left in the wild. 50 were released
    into the wild after being labeled big
    enough to survive in the wild. Habitat
    destruction is big also because
    deforestation and modernization is
    happening in the Philippines and the
    more we take away their habitat they
    will become extinct very soon.

    Practices such as dynamite fishing


    kills crocs every year. This is when
    people throw dynamite in the water
    and gather all the fish it kills when it
    explodes except it just doesnt kill
    fish. It kills almost everything in that
    ecosystem. Poaching is also big with
    these because of their skin and their
    teeth are valuable and people kill
    them and sell that.
    Fish, Aquatic invertebrates, Small
    vertebrates, Large adults eat
    antelope, and frogs are all apart of
    their diet.
