A great day for Crocodiles!

I had the privilege of spending the morning talking with fellow scientists, kids and media about the new croc exhibit @AMNH "Crocs: Ancient Predators in a Modern World". So much excitement around this topic and a really fun panel discussion. It was an excellent opportunity to share amazing facts about crocodilians and what they are really like. No. There aren't crocodiles and alligators living in the NYC sewers. But.. unfortunately, they are still sold in the pet trade and sometimes released into urban environments accidentally or intentionally by pet owners who didn't plan very well!
