The case occurred in the city of Buda, Texas, where a woman kept a two-meter crocodile as a pet. For a long time there was no suspicion of the fact, until the agents found out. In the case, agents of the Texas Parks and Wildlife group were investigating another case in the city, when they came across the animal in a residential area.
Despite the surprise, the animal was healthy and well fed, which indicates that the woman had some zeal in raising the crocodile. However, the creation was illegal, which is a crime in the United States. Also, the space the crocodile was in was too small for it to live well, especially given its size.
Furthermore, there is also the danger of raising such a dangerous animal in a residential area. After all, not only this family, but all the others in the vicinity were in danger from the presence of a two-meter crocodile roaming freely. Thus, this lady from the state of Texas will have to answer for her attitude.
Woman allegedly stole crocodile egg
The investigation carried out by employees of the environmental protection group and also by the police works with the hypothesis of crocodile egg theft. This is because it turned out that this woman was a volunteer at the New Braunfels Animal World and Snak Farm zoo, where there are other crocodiles of the same species.
As a female crocodile lays around 60 to 70 eggs at a time, it would be relatively easy to steal a single egg without the organization of the Zoo realized. However, the police will not be able to work on the charge of stealing the egg, but you will be able to answer for the illegal creation and pay a fine equivalent to five thousand reais.
