| Fishermen catch crocodile in Rio Grande |
| 2006-10-09 |
 NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico - Mexican fishermen captured a 7.5-foot crocodile in the Rio Grande, the river that divides part of Mexico and the United States, authorities reported on Sunday. Illegal migrants from Mexico frequently swim or ride inner tubes across the Rio Grande to reach the United States. Crocodiles do not normally inhabit the river, and authorities suspect it may have been brought to the area as a pet and then released into the river by its owner. |

| #13 with wetlands established I think they'd flourish, what with the sustained food supply and all |

| #12 Scrap the fence idea. Crocs are cheaper. But they don't work too well in the Sonoran desert. |

| #9 With enough crocs, we don't need to build a fence in that area. |

| #6 Wait, we have Crocodiles? I thought we had Alligators in North America, not Crocodiles. |

| #3 Could be an American Crocodile, Crocodylus acutus. Native to the area, though rare. |
