NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS GUATEMALA - APRIL 1999 LOG OF DAT 4 - CROC, ANTS, BC AND FISH REPORTER: CHRIS JOYCE ENGINEER: LINDA MACK CATCHING THE CROCK: VG 00:02 quiet and THEN getting the crock!!! - the crock squeaks - :27 talking in spanish :54 A - it is about a 2 ½ foot crock - a juv (it is squeaking in the bg) - and fran caught it and that sound - that noise - it is ah - it is a male and it is calling the mother - it is a cry for help basically talk in sp - w/squeaking in bg 1:50 A - it measures about 30 cm - about 2 ½ feet the way the measure it - they measure btwn - from the back of the eye to the tip of the nose and then there are formulas - after collecting for many yrs they have determined that there is a direct correlation btwn measurement and the size of the animal - they just measured the distance btwn the eye and the nostril and now they just measured the total body length - they measured about 45 cm and now they are measuring it about 50 cm so it is fairly accurate way of measuring the animal and when you have a large animal it is often a lot easier to measure that short distance than measuring the entire length of the animal. So we are going to - talk in sp - 3:19 crock squeaking A - there are 5 digits on the interior legs or the front legs and then there are 4 digits or 4 fingers on the posterior legs or hind legs and it has a tympanum which allows it to perceive sound - clearly from the sound it is making that crocs can hear. Talk in sp 4:18 A - it is one of the very few reptiles that actually has parental care - it is the only one where mothers actually responds to calls of the juvs - the calls are made even when they are already in the egg and the mother can hear them - before they hatch. Talk in spanish - and laughter - 4:59 woman - felicidades! Clapping - gracias! Una cerveza! (you can hear them opening up beer cans) boat starts up - 6:04 end of that scene 7:24-13:38 ambi at camp at night??
