Our new publication is out about Philippine crocodile diets, and an assessment of body condition of head-started Philippine crocodiles. Philippine crocodiles eat lots of snails, including the invasive Golden Apple Snail! https://t.co/1k9RhOMRMf

Were crocodiles always a symbol of corruption? 🐊

Crocodiles get a bad rap nowadays because of politicians, but did you know crocodiles used to be a revered creature?

Let's rehabilitate the innocent crocodile's reputation:

[MabuwayaFoundation @mabuwaya]

@ayalamuseum Thank you @ayalamuseum for this important coverage! At @mabuwaya we promote co-existence of crocodiles and people, with success! In Isabela Province, local communities protect crocodiles in sanctuaries and live together, much as they used to in the pre-colonial past..

[Ayala Museum @ayalamuseum]

As this poll proves, we’re so used to associating the buwaya/crocodile with greedy politicians! 🐊

But actually, the buwaya was a revered creature back then.

So how exactly did our relationship with it change over time?
