The American crocodile is considered an endangered species in nearly all parts
of its North, Central, and South American range. Survey data, except in the
United States, is poor or nonexistent, but conservationists agree that illegal
hunting and habitat depletion has reduced populations of this wide-ranging
reptile to critical levels.Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, birds, fish,crabs, insects, snails, frogs, and occasionally carrion. They have been known to attack people, but are far more likely to flee at the sight of humans.
