About 5,000 crocodiles are killed each year. They are mostly killed for their skin which is used to make handbags.

Poaching mainly occurs in Africa. You normally only hear about Elephants and Rhinos but Crocodiles are becoming an endangered species.

A lot of the time crocodiles are killed because of the threat they pose to humans when humans get to close.

Even if crocodiles are extremely dangerous, they still need to be protected because one of the oldest living reptiles may go extinct if we don't do anything about it.
