'Be careful with your crocs'
...
Following the mass escape of some 50 crocodiles last week from Moshav Petzael
in the Jordan Valley, an amphibian-reptilian expert, as well as Nature and
Parks Authority representatives, have warned that ranch owners must better
safeguard their floats so that the animals are not reintroduced into the wild.
"Nobody can know for sure if it's at all possible that they can reproduce in
the wild in Israel, but considering the very, very remote chance that they
could start to have a population here, a reproducing population in the wild -
that's a very, very scary possibility," Dr. Boaz Shacham, collection manager
and technician at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Zoological Museum's
Herpetological Collection, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.
