A male Tomistoma crocodile who was previously illegally trafficked, swims at the Los Angeles Zoo in Los Angeles, Friday, October 27, 2023. The Wildlife Confiscations Network is a new conservation initiative that is being led through a cooperative agreement by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Tomistomas are protected by the Endangered Species Act, can grow over 16 feet long, have up to 84 teeth, and can live to 80-years-old. Tomistoma (Tomistoma schlegelii) are a member of the Crocodylidae family and inhabit the rivers and wetlands of South East Asia. (Photo by Damian Dovarganes/AP Photo)
