Crocs On A Truck!
What are those on the floor of the truck? 2-year-old Philippine crocodiles, wrapped in soft netting. They were being transported by truck, raft and on foot to the lake in Dunoy where they were released back into the wild. Photo by Malu Francisco.
On May 19, Lacoste S.A. Chairman Michel Lacoste boarded a 6 x 6 truck in San Mariano, Isabela with a dozen 2-year-old crocodiles. The juvenile crocodiles belong to the severely endangered species Crocodylus mindorensis or Philippine crocodile (local name: bukarot). This small freshwater species found only in this country will become extinct in ten years if no conservation action is taken.
