"The African Slender-snouted Crocodile (Crocodylus cataphractus) is a species of crocodile. Recent studies in DNA and morphology suggest that it may belong in its own genus, Mecistops,[1]but at present most continue to use Crocodylus for this species".

    My daughter-in-law has just sent some pictures of her with a baby/dwarf crocodile on her shoulder. You won't catch me doing that - I bet they can still nip. They make lovely cards though.

    Happy PFF, Dorin. I happen to like crocodiles and always visit them when I'm in a Zoo. Relaxed and dangerous. My favorite is the very old one I once saw in the zoo of Fuengirola in Southern Spain. He was so old he could keep his mouth together.
