There are several reasons why crocodiles are endangered. First of all, humans hunt crocodiles. Second of all, deforestation is occurring. Crocodiles don't live in any rivers and they only live in rivers in or near the forest, swamp or grassland. Third of all, humans cause air pollution which triggers acid rain which can kill fishes, plants and even crocodiles. Fourth of all, hydroelectric dams are built that can prevent crocodile migrations.
