All month long, we’re shining a spotlight on the crocodilians — crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharials. These living fossils
have roamed our planet since before the dinosaurs disappeared, and they’re still thriving in rivers, swamps, and coasts around the world today.
Crocodilians aren’t just powerful predators — they’re also vital ecosystem engineers. From creating wetlands that shelter countless species to controlling prey populations, they play a key role in keeping waterways healthy and balanced.
Unfortunately, many species face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and poaching. Croctober is the perfect time to learn more, raise awareness, and support conservation efforts that protect these amazing survivors.
🐊✨ Let’s give the crocodilians the respect they deserve this Croctober!
