The Orinoco Crocodile is a critically endangered species of crocodile, found in the freshwater lagoons of the Orinoco River. Unfortunately, these animals are hunted for their meat and teeth, which are used for medicinal purposes. In certain areas, they are also struggling with habitat loss as well as the collection of their eggs and young by humans. They were almost hunted to extinction from 1920-1950 and today, only about 1500 remain, with only 100 adult females. As they feed on a wide variety of river creatures, these animals are critical to maintaining the balance of their ecosystem. Conservationists are working hard to restore the population, and many are raised in zoos before being released into the wild. My submission to the #endangeredspecieschallenge , hosted by @huftgoldthreads and @evolutionary_thread . Do I love this piece? Nope. It was hard for me to post it, but I spent so much time on it that I felt like I needed to follow through to the end. Also, red fabric is SO HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH.
