When conservationists ventured into the dense jungles of the Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia and Thailand, they made an incredible discovery. Despite being driven out of 99% of its former range, one of the world's rarest and most threatened species of crocodilians was still thriving in this region - the Siamese Crocodile.

Despite its elusive nature, conservation efforts have revealed the female to be an incredibly hard-working creature. In the wild, she uses scraped up plant debris mixed with mud to build mound-nests, incubates her eggs, and then helps her offspring break out of their shells before carrying them to the water in her jaws. Clearly, the Siamese Crocodile is a survivor, she’s not gon’ give up, she’s not gon’ stop, she’s gon’ work harder.
