Morelet’s Crocodile

The Morelet’s crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) is the type we have in the area. It is also known as the Mexican crocodile. It can be found only in fresh waters of the Atlantic regions of Mexico, Belize , and Guatemala. It usually grows to about 3 meters (9.8 ft) in length. They generally stay in the mangrove. When there is an extreme amount of rain, they do sometimes wander out. Do not go near them, as they can be dangerous. If you see one, please call Civil Protection 998-409-0380 . On occasion, you can see a big crock on the empty lot by the Casa de la Cultura. Otherwise, the best place to see them is at Crococoon park.

I’m a Mexican Canadian who has been living off the grid in Puerto Morelos for the last 20 years. Like you, I love to travel. I’ve been to places as diverse as Papua New Guinea, Europe, Brazil, Saint Martin & all over Mexico. I have 2 kids and I am a widow to Antonio, the architect who gave life to Aldea Bek. For the last 15 years, I’ve worked assisting couples to achieve natural birth as a doula and health researcher. I even presented at TEDxCancun in 2015. Health maintenance and illness prevention are my twin passions. Since 2016 I assist people with their health challenges with a focus on creating healthy habits that lead to a long health span. I hope to meet interesting people who also like to travel and grow, making the world a smaller place to live.
