West African Slender-snout Crocodile

This solitary and poorly known crocodile is already critically endangered. Deforestation and pollution reduce its habitat, forcing it to abandon nesting sites, and to unfavorable cohabitation with its cousin the Dwarf crocodile. In addition, the lack of fish forces him to get closer to the fishing nets where he sometimes finds himself trapped, reinforcing the “man / crocodile” conflict.
