Nature Is Metal
Asleep At The Wheel 📽 by @junglecrocodilesafari Crocodile takes advantage of a brown pelican who picked a terrible time to let its guard down American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) thrive as versatile predators, their menu shaped by coastal mangroves and rivers like the Tárcoles in Costa Rica. They mainly feed on fish like mullet, mammals that find themselves a little too close to the river’s edge and birds like this brown pelican. They shift to chasing different prey during different seasons - fish during the rainy months, carrion in dry spells - proving efficient without chasing everything with a pulse. In Costa Rica’s ecosystems, birds like herons or waterfowl make up about 10-15% of the crocodile’s diet, compared to fish at 50-60% and mammals like raccoons at 20-25%. From Florida to Peru, the American crocodile roams beyond Costa Rica. They dwell in Florida’s Everglades and Keys, with about 2,000 individuals, Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, thriving in coastal wetlands. In Central America, they occupy estuaries and rivers in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. Southward, they live in Colombia, Venezuela, and northern Peru’s coastal lagoons, while Caribbean islands like Cuba and Jamaica host their own populations. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!
