Crocodiles

For centurie people lived with the all powerful crocodile. Those snapping jaws and lethal teeth frightened all attackers away whether human or animal. People were also fascinated by their characteristic calls their beauty and their inteligence. Unfortunately it was their beauty skin which put them under threat. When explorers realised how valuable crocodile skin was everything changed. Hunters risked their lives in order to satisfy the world’s demand for crocodile skin. Worse was to come. The crocodile’s homes began to disapper as new towns and industries were developed on the land near swamps and rivers. Luckily for the crocodiles people realised that a world without them would just not be the same and now they have been officialy declared an endangered species. I some parts of the world there are now parks where crocodiles may live safely with laws to protect them.
