Lifer.
Seen from top of canyon wall. Crocs were basking over 500 feet below. Photographed through telescope. Second photo shows what it actually looked like to the naked eye.
EDIT - apparently these crocs are C. acutus not moreletii. I had always though Sumidero Canyon had moreletti, but a local croc researcher recently told me that I was wrong.
