The Siamese Crocodile is a freshwater species, occurring in swamps and slow-moving sections of streams and rivers, but also found in lakes. It also has many terrestrial nesting and basking sites, which make it more vulnerable to poaching and habitat destruction.

The principal threats to this animal are habitat destruction, illegal hunting, and persecution by people out of fear.

What we are doing to help:

  • At Phom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center we offer rehab and soft releases for the crocodiles that are found alive.
