Venezuelan biologist Carlos Alvarado, 34, grips a young crocodile with one hand on its neck and the other on its tail. Armed with tape and callipers, he measures the animal, monitoring its growth just days before it is due to be released into the wild.
Alvarado’s journey – and that of the Orinoco crocodile under his care – is a testament to hope and determination amid overwhelming odds.
Fewer than 100 Orinoco crocodiles, one of the world’s largest living reptiles, remain in the wild, according to the Venezuelan conservation foundation FUDECI. The species’ natural habitat encompasses the Orinoco River basin, which covers much of Venezuela and stretches into Colombia.
For decades, members of the Venezuelan Crocodile Specialist Group have reared this critically endangered species in captivity, racing against time to prevent its extinction.
Yet, they now fear they are losing the battle. Once pushed to the verge of extinction by poaching for their leather, Orinoco crocodiles now face a new threat: Desperate Venezuelans who hunt the animals for meat and harvest their eggs for food.
Federico Pantin, 59, is not optimistic. He serves as director of the Leslie Pantin Zoo in Turmero, near Caracas – a facility specialising in endangered species and one of the few places where crocodile hatchlings are raised.
“We’re only delaying the Orinoco’s extinction,” he says.

Nevertheless, Pantin and his colleagues persevere: Researching, measuring, transporting.
The team records nesting sites for the long-snouted Orinoco crocodile, collecting eggs or hatchlings. They also maintain breeding programmes for adults kept at the zoo and at Masaguaral Ranch, a biodiversity centre and cattle farm near Tamarindito in central Venezuela.
The young are fed chicken, beef and vitamins, reaching about 6kg (13lb) by the time they are a year old.
Adult Orinocos can exceed 5 metres (16ft) in length and live for decades – a 70-year-old named Picopando resides at Masaguaral Ranch.
At the Leslie Pantin Zoo, Omar Hernandez, 63, biologist and head of FUDECI, tags the foot of a hatchling. Saving the species, he says, would require multiple efforts: Research, protection, education and management.
“We are doing the management, collecting the hatchlings, raising them for a year and freeing them,” he says. But “that is practically the only thing being done. And it is not being done at scale.”
Each year, the group releases about 200 young crocodiles into the wild.
The biologists wait until the animals reach a year old, a critical period in their lives, Hernandez explains. During this time, “almost all are hunted.”
In April, scientists released this year’s batch. The young crocodiles, with their jaws bound, were placed in crates and transported from the zoo to the Capanaparo River in western Venezuela, near the Colombian border, where human settlements are sparse. This part of the river runs through private land, lowering the risk that the animals will be hunted immediately.

Alvaro Velasco, 66, placed tape over the eyes of a juvenile to help it remain calm during transport.
“People ask me, ‘Why crocodiles? They’re ugly,’” says Velasco, president of the Crocodile Specialist Group. “To me, they’re fabulous animals. You release them and they stay there, looking at you, as if to say, ‘What am I supposed to do in this huge river?’ And then they swim off.”
Pick-up trucks carried the scientists, crocodiles and volunteers along muddy tracks to a camp by the river, where the team spent the night sleeping in hammocks. The following morning, the crocodiles were gently lifted from their crates and carried to the water’s edge. The juveniles slipped into the muddy, green-tinged river.
“Maybe many of these animals are going to be killed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow because of a lack of awareness among people and of course because of hunger,” says Hernandez. He echoes Pantin’s fears that the Orinoco crocodile may ultimately be doomed.
But, he adds, “we’re stubborn. It’s a way of delaying extinction and it’s something that is in our capacity to do. If we waited for the perfect circumstances, they would never come.”
With Fleur East, Will Best, and James Barr taking the lead in a national version of HITS Radio’s regional breakfast programs in England and Wales, the station recently announced the end of its regional programming.
As he announced the end of a long-running program on Hits Radio, a radio host was spotted yelling back tears. Following the announcement that the radio station’s regional breakfast programs will end in a few weeks, this is a timely development.
Bauer Media Group announced recently that Hit Radio’s regional breakfast shows in England and Wales will be replaced by a national version from June 9. The new show will be hosted by Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr.
John Dalziel, better known as JD, and Roisin McCourt, whose breakfast show covers the West Midlands, are just two people who have been impacted by the news. Prior to the final broadcast on June 6th, they just days ago shared the news with the listeners.
“We have some news for you, but this is one of those moments that’s honestly really difficult to say out loud,” JD said. Our show is coming to an end after almost 20 years of broadcasting here because we’ve always enjoyed being a part of your morning routine.
Roisin said, “We have three children, three of whom are 13 years old, nine of whom are five, and I’ve been waking you up every morning, but now I’m going to be at home waking them up,” which they are either going to love or hate. Watch out for me because I’ll also see a crazy woman driving around Coundon in a Citreon, but we really want to thank you because 21 years is a very long time on a breakfast show.

JD described the journey as “an incredible journey.” You’re aware that we have lived our lives loudly and have grown up on this program. We’ve had children, we’ve had different partners, we’ve had breakups, and we’ve had a lot. But what, you ask? Nothing else comes with the privilege of broadcasting to your home country. The place where you were born and raised will always be very special to me.
You and your spouses have shared your lives every day, he continued. I believe there are even a few kids who have their names somewhere in the area.
The brand-new breakfast program will debut on June 9th, he added. I am well-versed in these guys, and they’re going to wake you up in the morning with a great awakening. Over the summer, they have a lot planned.
But I just wanted to say that my greatest gratitude is to you, [Roisin], because you have been my partner in crime. You’ve been my constant giggle. You have been this show’s beating heart. You’ve shared everything with Paul and Paul, as well as the West Midlands as a whole, and Paul I’m going to miss the daily belly laughs. Even when it shouldn’t be, you still make jokes.
In March, Hits Radio announced the end of the current regional breakfast programs prior to their final broadcasts. The company announced that from June 9 only one national breakfast show would be broadcast across England and Wales.
Hits Radio and Greatest Hits Radio will continue to provide local news, including traffic and travel updates, according to the information that was shared at the time. Additionally, Bauer Media, a subsidiary of Bauer Media, stated that it would “simplify its operations by integrating its production capabilities into seven key centers.”

We constantly evolve to meet audience behaviours and advertiser needs.” They continued, “I’d like to thank our Hits Radio Breakfast teams in England and Wales as they wrap up their final season of programming. We wish them the best of luck in the future because of their significant contribution to the Hits Radio story so far.
Two months after rumors that Liverpool forward Ceri Holland might not play for Euro 2025, she has been chosen to play for Wales in the final Nations League group games.
Rhian Wilkinson has named a 26-person squad for the crucial League A games against Denmark on May 30 in Odense and Italy in Swansea four days later.
The winger was taken off on a stretcher in April’s 2-1 defeat to Denmark by Wales, but scans revealed she had a leg injury that wasn’t as serious as initially anticipated. She then returned to Liverpool later that month.
The news was a great relief for the Welsh team, which is gearing up for their first major women’s tournament against the Netherlands on July 5 in Lucerne, Switzerland, despite the player’s incense coming off the pitch.
For the upcoming Nations League games, Kayleigh Barton and record-holder Jess Fishlock have both made a return to Wilkinson’s squad.

Similar to Holland, 38-year-old Fishlock, who is in line to win the 161st cap, was a late injury drop for Sweden’s 1-1 draw. Additionally, Barton, 37, was unable to travel to the country or play for Denmark in Cardiff four days prior.
However, seasoned goalkeeper Laura O’Sullivan-Jones is sidelined for Euro 2025 due to an ACL injury.
Soffia Kelly, 18, one of three uncapped teenagers, along with fellow stopper Poppy Soper and Bristol City forward Tianna Teisar, has been called up in her place.
Mared Griffiths, a former Manchester United player of 18 years old, is also a part of the team.
