class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There is only one species in Jamaica, the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus).

In fact, Jamaica only has one species of crocodile, the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus), which is the smallest and the least aggressive.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-crocodiles-in-jamaica-rivers\"><\/span>Are there crocodiles in Jamaica rivers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The majority of crocodile populations in Jamaica inhabit the wetlands (mangrove swamps, marshes) and rivers along the southern coast of the island; areas such as the Black River Great Morass and Milk River. There are however a few small isolated populations on the north coast; in parishes such as Hanover and Trelawny.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-montego-bay-have-crocodiles\"><\/span>Does Montego Bay have crocodiles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hugh Shim, manager of the Montego Bay Marine Park, agreed with the assessment, noting that crocodiles may only appear outside of their natural habitat if their food sources are lowered. \u201cThe crocodiles have been in the lagoons for a long time, and it is just that people are seeing them more often now.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-the-caribbean-have-alligators-or-crocodiles\"><\/span>Does the Caribbean have alligators or crocodiles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) lives in several places within the Americas, including Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and south Florida. The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is also found in south Florida, among other places.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-poisonous-snakes-in-jamaica\"><\/span>Are there poisonous snakes in Jamaica?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Are there any venomous snakes in Jamaica? There are no venomous snakes in Jamaica. The most dangerous snake is probably the Jamaican Boa, the largest of all the snakes found on Jamaica, but even this is harmless to humans.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-bears-in-jamaica\"><\/span>Are there bears in Jamaica?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are minuscule insects and large reptiles, huge bears, and land crabs.

Pups are born in June but stay with their moms for 10 months, so we typically see an influx of young animals in the spring.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-sea-animals-live-in-jamaica\"><\/span>What sea animals live in Jamaica?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>DO MARINE MAMMALS LIVE IN JAMAICA? There are 28 species of marine mammal that spend part of their lives in Jamaican waters. These include Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), Killer Whales (Orcinus orca), Pygmy Sperm Whales (Kogia breviceps) and the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-whales-in-jamaica\"><\/span>Are there whales in Jamaica?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Jamaicans have been urged not to get into the water with the killer whales that have been spotted off the coast of Montego Bay, St James.

Their whiteness is the result of either albinism or leucism; both conditions impact the whales&#39; ability to produce the pigment melanin, which is responsible for their normal gray color.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-sperm-good-for-your-teeth-and-skin\"><\/span>Is sperm good for your teeth and skin?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sperm doesn&#39;t contain just sperm but it contains vitamins like zinc and calcium, and it may help prevent tooth decay. Of corse it&#39;s probably a good idea to continue using tooth paste. Sperm facial is actually incredibly good for your skin.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-is-a-real-whale-tooth-worth\"><\/span>How much is a real whale tooth worth?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Whaling scenes are the most desirable images on scrimshaw teeth.
