Notes
Lifer.
Seen from top of canyon wall. Crocs were basking over 500 feet below. Photographed through telescope. Second photo shows what it actually looked like to the naked eye.
EDIT - apparently these crocs are C. acutus not moreletii. I had always though Sumidero Canyon had moreletti, but a local croc researcher recently told me that I was wrong.
