Re: Be careful… Posted by Chan on October 27, 2023, 8:40 pm, in reply to "Re: Be careful…" What kind of baby?

Re: Be careful… Posted by Stephanie on October 27, 2023, 10:35 pm, in reply to "Re: Be careful…" A baby crocodile….as the water is backed up big time with the sand blocking the release into the ocean…we got the crocs further downstream I am guessing until the water breaks through into the bay…and he whooshed it back into the water!

Re: Be careful… Posted by Raul on October 28, 2023, 8:10 am, in reply to "Be careful…" We’re relatively new here. Arroyo near IMIX or by Crocodile Bar/Cantina?

Re: Be careful… Posted by Stephanie on October 28, 2023, 8:20 am, in reply to "Re: Be careful…" There is a large group protected by IMIX and Pepe at the Crocodilia area and a huge tourist draw! Several live by Martins restaurant when there is water nearby in that lagoon..but I am further downriver where they have graded below sea level giving me a two foot lake in front of my property…also an iguana nesting area! Without flow into the bay this water stagnants and becomes a breeding ground for mosquitos as well! We need to flush it out !

They are in fact food sources at that size for and adult. Not to say there aren't adults near them though.....
