American Crocodile Education Sanctuary

Watch ACES/ American Crocodile Education Sanctuary behind the scenes caring for a juvenile croc found starving in polluted water. The greatest reward is re-releasing a croc like this one once it's healthy. In the wild, less than 1% of crocs' eggs actually hatch and survive to reach sexual maturity. Due to indiscriminate development and improper waste disposal, both major issue in Ambergris Caye, small crocs like this one have even a lesser chance of surviving without ACES help. ACES is permitted by the Belize Forest Department.
