ACES American Crocodile Education Sanctuary

Crocodile feeding in Belize is illegal. ACES captured this wild, problematic 13 foot American Crocodile, Crocodylus acutus, that locals were feeding unwittingly as a tourist attraction. The croc was relocated to ACES in southern Belize by boat and then by truck to a secure natural habitat where researchers and students can come to study these magnificent modern day dinosaurs. Otherwise the animal would have been destroyed. ACES is a non-profit organization in need of funding for more natural containment facilities. Video was by the San Pedro Sun.
