today they came anyway to the La Boquita canal again and traumatized and trapped the other extremely small cocodrilo that was still living there.

I'm sorry but I have to ask: Were they removed because they were perceived to be a threat to the tourists? Or because a trash-filled, cement-lined canal wasn't a proper home for them?

Since they'd been living in the canal for many years and it kept them safe from everyone except politicians, I have to guess their reason was to simulate "doing something about the crocodile problem" after they publicly claimed the gentleman who was attacked at Playa Quieta was attacked by a crocodile, causing quite a crocodile hysteria among potential visitors in the social media and national news, when in reality he was attacked by a shark, same as the woman who was bitten on the leg but survived. They must figure they're committed to the lie and they need to do something. Because the small crocs posed no threat to anyone. Never attacked anyone or their Fifi. They had their routine of hiding out in the drainage tubes, especially the one connected to what's left of what used to be a large mangrove estuary, an ideal and safe place for them. There were usually plenty of fish in the shallow water at the mouth of the canal to keep them fed along with an occasional bird, though every now and then they'd sit out in the sun in the sand at the mouth of the canal, and sometimes take a swim to explore, such as to the Las Salinas lagoon past the pier where there are more fish and birds for them to eat. And during the peak holiday season while the croc hysteria was peaking one apparently was spotted swimming near the pier, and in their typical overreaction, the city ordered the Marina to clear everyone out of the water at the downtown beach. So that left them looking stupid, so I guess it just became an act of revenge for them after that, because this municipal government doesn't like being made to look bad, even when they do it to themselves.
