The birth of 60 Siamese crocodiles in the wild last month was all very Jurassic Park... representing two decades of conservation efforts.
The fact that we've been able to help these crocodiles recover and see this landmark breeding event, it's very significant.
Siamese crocodiles were first listed as virtually extinct in the wild in 1992... In 2000, a very small population was recorded in the remote Cardamom Mountains of Cambodia.
The species is smaller and less aggressive than its saltwater crocodile relative, and there is no recorded evidence of attacks by the animals on humans.
