To me the most amazing thing was that an animal which has been a top predator for 280 million years should have learned/evolved to be so elusive in only a few generations.

Rom, I would like to send you some photos of a recently- and wastefully-killed alligator that measured 28 feet, one inch long. This magnificent animal was shot in Alabama and is shown swimming with a large buck in its mouth. I wonder how old it was and whether anyone can develop practical methods of capture and relocation instead of extermination!

Hi Rom, I have just been reading about your work with crocodiles. I would love to congratulate and thank you for this work. It’s so great to see that there are some people on this planet who love these magnificent creatures. I am hoping that the program that you made on Supersize crocs will be avaliable here in New Zealand on DVD at some stage, if not I’ll do my darndist to get it from overseas.
Keep up the great work. :-)

Deer management in the USA has shown large antlered deer can be taken over many decades w/o reducing antler size. The key element is age and good habitat.
Hunters in fact are conserving habitat and providing the $$$ to produce healthier deer herds which result in larger deer. It is only when hunting is uncontrolled or improperly managed that there is a deleterious effect. Anyway, I suspect the genes for large size in crocs. are still there and the key element is age. If there is a good way to age crocs, this hypothesis could be tested.

Hi Rom, I have just caught the end of a Natural World TV programme on BBC2, I really would like to congratulate you on your excellent work to save this wonderful creature. I hope you continue to be inspired to continue with this work.
I have to admit that the programme bought me to tears; I find it so sad that we as Humans are mostly responsible for the decline or extinction of so many species.
Thank you for caring.
Denise Butler
