Why is this crocodile so close to humans, and is it dangerous? Professor Gong Shiping at the School of Life Science and Technology of Jinan University said in an interview with Jimu News that the crocodile is a national first -level national key protection of wild animals. At present, there are very few natural population population in the wild. Later, put back to the wild.

"If this is the case, before returning to the wild, it grows to a certain age under artificial domestication. It will not be afraid of people when they are in contact with human contact when they are young. The crocodile belongs to a relatively mild species. "Gong Shiping introduced. "When the villagers kill chickens and fish by the pond, they will produce a bloody smell. Crocodiles are very sensitive to bloody smell. It thinks that there is food here and it will approach. If someone once feeds it, then it will also produce it. Conditional reflexes, when people who feed food come to the pond, the crocodile will swim on the shore. "

Gong Shiping reminded that the crocodile is small and mild, and it is not aggressive for adults. But for children, you still need to pay attention to safety when playing at the pond. Do not approach the crocodile.
