World Crocodile Day - August 8th This day was proclaimed by a group of crocodile scientists and conservationists who want to have a special day for crocodile conservation awareness. August 8th was chosen as it coincided with the first day of Crocodylian Genetics, Morphology, and Molecular Sciences conference that is to be held in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA on August 8-11, 2017. During this time, crocodile and alligator scientists from all over the world will convene to discuss data, share ideas, and celebrate crocodile conservation together.
