Saltwater Crocodile
(Photos)
This endangered reptile actually is a danger to underwater
enthusiasts
and a number of people are killed and injured each year. It's hide has
a very high commercial value because of its ease of skinning and
because
of this it is protected.
Here is a very nice article sent to me by Dr. Omar Sanchez,
