Nile crocodiles found in Florida

[betmen]

because of tourism someday all the native wild life in florida will be gone.

is like in hawaii, i read in hawaii 96% of wild life are invasive species brought by the tourist. they dump they exotic animals in the wild and the native wild life lose competing with the invasive species.

Nile crocodiles can survive for 3 years without food. They store nutrients in their tails.

It's possible they could have drifted over from western africa after getting washed away by a storm.

it's possible but nile croc are not as rezillient in the salt water as salty who known to cross islands.

most likely is the case exotic pet get too big or escapee from breeder. just like burnese phyton and asian gharial cases in florida.

Interesting that Nile croc's found their way to Florida. There have been Croc. Species for a long time in Florida but Nile Croc's are large man eaters. The suggestion that they were released pets sounds right but one thing that a lot of people don't know that years ago many Tarzan movies were filmed in Florida(Johnny Weissmuller) and many small monkeys were brought in for the films and let go after filming. Nothing to do with how the Crocodiles got there just an interesting tidbit about animals brought out of their normal habitat and making a new home.

I've read about those nile crocs in Florida.

On a side note, out of all the invasive species in that state, burmese pythons are the most threatening to wildlife. But they're still not as threatening to natural wildlife as Florida's ever growing feral cat population.

That cat has elephant sized balls. And that's a pet cat, not a wild feral or stray.

felines arent really on anythings food chain.
ive yet to see lions or tigers fight each other to the death. its usually a no mas or a decision.

leopards/jaguars eat crocodiles for breakfast.
