ACES American Crocodile Education Sanctuary

Click here to hear 'Ace' the Talking Crocodile

This video is for audio only. Crocodiles are extremely vocal; however, this little croc's behavior is unusual. Every evening as the sun goes down, Ace starts to chat. Vince and I, mimic it's sounds and Ace seems to reply. It really is hilarious!

'Ace' is a rescued hatching American Crocodile that was found injured and starving. Totally blind in one eye, Ace's fate in the wild would have been sure death. The founders of ACES in Belize, Vince and I rehabilitated the little crocodile.

Ace is being adopted by The Wildlife Discovery Center in Lake Forest, Illinois. Thanks to Rob Carmichael, the curator at WDC, Ace may become the first International Crocodile Ambassador. Pending the permission of CITES, Ace will make the journey by plane and be escorted by myself into the USA. We will land in Atlanta where the USFW will inspect Ace.

Ace will be on display at WDC for you to visit and maybe you can even chat with the little crocodile. Although Ace will remain the property of the Belize Forest Department, the croc's presence at WDC will raise awareness and funding for Crocodile Conservation in Belize. Way to go Ace!
