Back From The Brink
|
There have been a lot of crocodile sightings at the estuary in the past week, so instead of talking about sea turtles, we will share some information about the amazing crocs! The crocodiles we have in San Pancho are Crocodylus acutus, the American Crocodile. These reptiles are very sensitive to the cold, so, this time of year the crocs will come out of the water to warm themselves in the sun, allowing visitors a rare glimpse of this amazing species. Crocodiles mate in late fall and early winter and will lay their eggs in a mud nest mound that they build on the banks of the estuary. Eggs incubate for about 70 days and will hatch in late May, just before the rainy season. Crocodiles are very attentive parents and are extremely protective of their nests and of their hatchlings. Special bumps in their mouths called integumentary sensory organs (ISOs) make their mouths very sensitive -even more sensitive than human fingers. A mother croc will use her mouth to help her babies hatch out of the eggs and will carry her entire brood (up to 30 hatchlings) from the nest to the water and back in her mouth several times a day. She coos and cuddles with her babies constantly and if danger approaches, she will call to them and they will scramble into her mouth for protection. Crocodiles feed mainly on fish and hunt primarily the first few hours after sundown. Obviously crocodiles can be dangerous to humans, but they will avoid confrontation if possible. While they may look slow and lazy, they are amazingly agile both on land and in water and can move with lightning speed if the need arises. Crocodile attacks are extremely rare and are almost always the result of poor judgment on the part of humans. We are lucky to have wild crocodiles here in San Pancho and as long as we respect them and keep our distance we can hope to live peacefully side by side for many years to come. All species of crocodiles are threatened or endangered in all parts of their natural habitat and they are protected by law in Mexico.
Did You Know?
Crocodiles can live to be 80 years old.
Crocodiles grow a new tooth every time an old tooth falls out.
Crocodiles have excellent eyesight and can see in color.
Crocodiles are the most intelligent reptiles.
Crocodiles have lived on Earth for about 65 million years.

Ha habido una gran cantidad de avistamientos de cocodrilos en el estuario en la última semana, así que en vez de hablar de las tortugas marinas, vamos a compartir un poco de información acerca de los cocodrilos increíbles! Los cocodrilos que tenemos en San Pancho son Crocodylus acutus, el cocodrilo americano. Estos reptiles son muy sensibles al frío, por lo que, en esta época del año, los cocodrilos saldrán del agua para calentarse al sol, lo que permite a los visitantes mirar, algo poco común de esta especie increíble. Los Cocodrilos se aparean a finales del otoño y principios del invierno y ponen sus huevos en su nido un montículo de barro que se acumula en las orillas del río. Los huevos se incuban durante unos 70 días y eclosionan a finales de mayo, justo antes de la temporada de lluvias. Los cocodrilos son padres muy atentos y son muy protectores de sus nidos y sus crías.
Golpes especiales en la boca llamados tegumentario órganos sensoriales (ISOs) hacen la boca muy sensible, incluso más sensibles que los dedos humanos. Un cocodrilo madre va a utilizar la boca para ayudar a sus crías que salen del cascarón de los huevos y llevará a toda su prole (hasta 30 crías) del nido al agua y de nuevo en la boca varias veces al día. Ella arrulla y acaricia a sus bebés constantemente y si el peligro se acerca, ella llamará a ellos y ellos se apresuran en su boca para su protección. Los cocodrilos se alimentan principalmente de peces y cazan principalmente durante las primeras horas después de la puesta del sol.
Es evidente que los cocodrilos pueden ser peligrosos para los humanos, pero van a evitar la confrontación si es posible. Si bien pueden parecer lentos y perezosos, son increíblemente ágiles tanto en tierra como en agua y puede moverse con la velocidad del rayo en caso de necesidad. Los ataques de cocodrilo son extremadamente raros y casi siempre son el resultado de la falta de criterio por parte de los humanos. Tenemos la suerte de tener cocodrilos salvajes aquí en San Pancho y mientras los respetamos y mantenemos nuestra distancia que podemos aspirar a vivir en paz uno junto al otro durante muchos años por venir. Todas las especies de cocodrilos se encuentran amenazadas o en peligro de extinción en todo su hábitat natural y están protegidos por la ley en México.
¿Sabía usted?
Los cocodrilos pueden vivir hasta los 80 años.
A los Cocodrilos les crece un diente nuevo cada vez que un diente viejo se cae.
Los cocodrilos tienen una vista excelente y se puede ver en color.
Los cocodrilos son los reptiles más inteligentes.
Los cocodrilos han vivido en la Tierra durante 65 millones de años.

Casa Susana
Reserve this Rental in San Pancho
for your Next Vacation!
 All three of the bedroom villas have two double beds (side by side), rock mosaic floored showers, toilet, sink, and generous closets. The living room villa has plenty of room for eating, drinking and playing, and includes a lit deck should you decide to spend the night outside under the stars. There are 1800 square feet of covered living area, plus multiple decks. The buildings sit on 3/4's of an acre in tropical jungle foliage; all with spectacular ocean views of the San Pancho, San Francisco Mexico beachline. Sit up in your bed and watch the boats and whales go by, drink margaritas while in the pool on one of several large decks and watch the sunset, or just laze in the hammock and listen to the ocean waves. Bring your fishing equipment and catch your dinner on the beach below!!! The villas are beautifully landscaped with hibiscus, bougainvilleas, and other tropical flowers to enhance the lovely and lush surroundings. Lit brick pathways join the buildings. Pick your own bunch of bananas off the trees to eat later. The only sounds are the waves crashing below and jungle birds. There is a full sized heated infinity pool overlooking the bluff, and professional landscaping has added to the natural beauty.
