Learning more about crocodiles with ACES - Night Tour and Sanctuary in Belize - LeAw in Belize

Описание: In this episode we will learn more about crocodiles at the amazing ACES’ Crocodile Scientific Investigators (CSI) tour, a unique experience that has you traversing through mangrove forests at night on the back side of the island. Yes! The tour takes place at night, as it’s when the crocodiles are more active and hunting for food. Vince and Cherie, founders of ACES started the tour, but their most knowledgeable Crocodile Expert Chris Summers is mostly in charge of taking out the tours. It will have you interacting with the wild reptiles and at the same time helping protect them and conserving their natural habitats. The American Crocodile Education Sanctuary (ACES) will have you appreciating and (YES) loving these threatened species and not looking at them as scary and dangerous creatures.
Chris and his crew are very careful and handle the crocodiles with extreme care and attention. Their mission is to protect them and the tour is super informative and educational;

We had the pleasure to met ACES (American Crocodile Education Sanctuary) during a rescue, relocate and release of a 7.5 foot female American Crocodile, named Sparkles.

CHRISTINA MANZI
Originally from Boulder, Colorado, Christina started as a volunteer with ACES in 2016. She came to Belize to assist in opening a skydiving center on Ambergris Caye. While doing so, she became fascinated with the wildlife and ecosystem and found herself excitedly volunteering her time to ACES. Her first experience working with crocodiles just happen to coincide with moving day for Jaws, a permanently injured captive croc who was being transported to his permanent home in the sanctuary. When she was instructed to "JUMP!" on the back of Jaws, she leapt wholeheartedly into a new chapter in her life.
Christina has been trained by Chris and Vince in crocodile wrangling, behavior, biology, scientific data collection, and safe croc handling techniques. After five months of volunteering, Christina decided to move permanently to Belize to aid ACES in our mission to protect and preserve crocodilians. She is currently volunteering full-time to increase ACES’s online presence, marketing, fundraising, education, and public relations. Christina additionally aids Chris with croc rescues, relocations, research, education, and official training courses, in addition to photographing crocs every chance she gets.
