Re: Endangered Siamese Crocodile eggs discovered.
After seeing the crocodiles trying to finish off the two year old baby, I really don't care if they all become extinct. Name one redeeming thing about them.

That was on a crocodile farm, nobody has been eaten by Siamese Crocodiles in a long time.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

1/ They are less destructive than Homo sapien, but then so is everything..
and anyway, that was on a croc farm - hybrid bastards.
Nobody ever got eaten by the critically endangered Crocodylus siamensis, ever.
Re: Endangered Siamese Crocodile eggs discovered.
Still nothing redeemable about them has been said.

PHNOM PENH, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Ten baby Siamese crocodiles have been spotted in Cambodia, raising hopes that conservation efforts have achieved a breakthrough for a species once believed to be extinct in the wild, said Fauna & Flora International (FFI) on the press release on Wednesday.
The hatchlings were sighted in late January by FFI conservationists at the Veal Veng crocodile sanctuary, a protected part of a river in the Cardamom Mountains, Pursat province, the press release said.
It added that this was only the second time in a decade that baby Siamese crocodiles have been seen in the wild in Cambodia.
"This is a really significant moment and it feels like we have reached a turning point for the Siamese crocodile," said Pablo Sinovas, flagship species manager in Cambodia for FFI.
"For a species that for a long time was believed to be extinct in the wild to be breading[sic] and producing hatchlings is extremely exciting," he said.
