ACES American Crocodile Education Sanctuary

Help Take A Bite Out of Extinction!

Saving Crocs in Belize

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.
