Cuban crocodiles are highly carnivorous, often eating fish and reptiles, but they also eat mammals. Therefore, humans may be attacked. The breeding mode is oviparous. Females burrow in sandy areas near water to lay eggs, and can lay 20-50 eggs at a time.
endangered species
Cuban crocodiles also attack humans and are sometimes eliminated by humans. It used to live in the Bahamas, but is now extinct. The main reason the Cuban crocodile population is declining is habitat destruction due to agricultural development. Currently, it only inhabits two swamps in Cuba, and its numbers are steadily declining. In recent years, the salt concentration of fresh water has increased due to the impact of agriculture, and American crocodiles have begun to enter the area. The Cuban crocodile is now listed as an endangered species.
