Hello. I noticed that all of the spotting location markers on your spottings are in a default (beginning) position off of West Africa. Please move them to the correct location while in edit mode. The easiest way to do this is to zoom out using the minus sign to the world scale then with the mouse move the pin to the correct continent, then region, then location, zooming in and out as necessary. If this spotting is in the Caribbean, then that is out of range for Crocodylus porosus. C. acutus would be a more likely candidate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_crocodile Cheers
