Too bad they're endangered and protected. There's only one research group raising young and repopulating wild groups.

I've been trying to find australian FW crocs. These herps are also strict fish eaters. A big plus is their size. Average adult size is under 6ft and they're not prone to biting.

Yep FW crocs are cool. Not too big, but a bit snappy. Another small croc is the African Dwarf. They have a couple in the zoo here. Beautiful small crocs.

i want one
there has to be a breed in the south united states somewhere
endagered, even zoos have a hard time getting a CITES permit, huge fines and possible jail time for violators, even having a tooth from one is illegal and they shed those.
