Breaking Trail: A Nest FULL of Crocodiles!

On this week's adventure Coyote is heading into the backwaters of Turkey Point with wildlife biologist and crocodile conservationist Mario Aldecoa to scout nesting sites for newly hatched American Crocodiles. As if cruising the cooling canals of a nuclear power plant in an air boat at night wasn't enough, Coyote and the crew also have their hands full with the looming danger of huge crocodiles nearby making this conservation effort seriously intense!


American Crocodiles were at one time on the brink of extinction in the United States until a handful of conservation efforts, like the one at Turkey Point, helped revitalize their population which has resulted in their down listing from an endangered to a threatened species. This is a true wildlife success story!
