A great predator of South America, the Orinoco crocodile is threatened with extinction. In Venezuela, young specimens are reared on a farm before being released into the wild.
The Orinoco crocodile has been little studied. It lives solely in the river basin that gives it its name and is one of the largest animals in South America, growing up to six meters in length. Despite being protected, the species is still hunted for its skin, and numbers are declining. Today, only some 1,500 specimens live in the wild.
