Crocodile rock

There iisn't anything produce-related when it comes to crocodiles, but our visit to a Honduras crocodile breeding facility was fascinating nonetheless. The facility saved several hundred crocodiles from the wild more than 20 years ago and now has more than 11,000 crocodiles. The facility releases reptiles into the wild of Honduras but has found that the animals they release are often killed by natives (often fishermen) who are understandably afraid of the creatures. Some hides are exported (not to the U.S.- mostly to Japan) under the sanction of a United Nations licensing body for trade in endangered species. Meat is consumed locally.
