Has anyone successfully crossed a cuban with a nile crocdile?

Yes, Crutchfield did this many many years back and others have done it also but these animals are not that easy to find available.

Are there any images of the cross available anywhere?

I have seen a couple pictures but I dont have any and im not sure who does .... maybe you will get lucky and someone will post some pics.

I had one of the crutchfield animals Chris p might have pictures of it. It was his befor it was mine I sold it to a guy who thought it could handle snow bad luck all the way around.One thing tho she had a very mild temperment unlike ether parent. A very sad loss.

Yeah, I have several pictures of the hybrids. I'll have to scan them and then post the pics. Unfortunately, we didn't have digital cameras back then.

that is amazing!

does anyone know if crutchfield is out of prison yet?

Yes been out for years, he is doing well, he had a shop in Miami but now has opened a new farm.

Here's an example of my friend Archie Bottoms holding a small hybrid niloticus x rhombifer. This particular animal originated from Tom Crutchfield's stock back in the early 1990's.

Here's yet another example of a niloticus x rhombifer which also originated from Tom Crutchfield's stock.
