There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

@epaiva can you tell from looking at the snout width (or any other feature) whether this Orinoco crocodile is male of female?
Normally females are slender and their skull are more fínese, males have broader larger skulls like almost all crocodilians species. Big males are very wary of humans normally when they spot you they go away.
That's what I thought; so it's probably male then. I thought it might be a girthy female because of how narrow the snout is, but I guess even mature males of C. intermedius can have snouts this narrow
