Siamese Crocodile
The Siamese Crocodile is a critically endangered species native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in the freshwater rivers, lakes, and marshes of Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Smaller than many of its crocodilian relatives, it typically grows to around 3 metres in length, with a slender, agile body built for navigating freshwater environments.
This elusive crocodile is known for its calm demeanor and is primarily a nocturnal hunter, preying on fish, amphibians, and small mammals. Historically, it has been valued for its skin, which has contributed to its decline in the wild, along with habitat destruction and fragmentation.
At Crocodiles of the World, we take pride in caring for this rare and remarkable species, helping to raise awareness about the importance of conserving its fragile population. The Siamese Crocodile serves as a symbol of Southeast Asia’s natural beauty and the ongoing need for conservation efforts to protect the world's most vulnerable reptiles.
