Here is a little shot taken a few days before Isabelle and I left La Manzanilla for the frozen north. this was quite a surprise as we did not see this coming at all.

Interesting, I would like to see what Pepe Martinez has to say about this.
Looks like some sort of sibling dicipline or something.

Glad you enjoyed La Manzanilla

Awesome video!

I once witnessed a big croc jump on a smaller one in a fit of jealousy, because the younger one was being fed fish. The large croc actually chewed the hind leg off the smaller one, and for a long time after, you could spot the croc with the missing leg. Didn't have my video camera then, damn!

We were there and it was pretty surprising. We had all kinds of conjectures. I asked Nacho, who works for the condos. in Boca, about it. I understood him to say he 'knows' these crocodiles and said they are territorial and this is not the first time they have fought. The smaller one did seem to survive.
Yes, it would be interesting to see what Pepe says.

I did a bit on this last night, lots about crocs fighting other animals but
very little on them fighting each other.
