The size of this juvenile becomes obvious in this shot, which also highlights one of C. mindorensis biggest problems – its beauty.

At a maximum male size of three meters. C. mindorensis isn’t a man-eater, so it isn’t killed to protect humans. It is killed to sell its beautiful skin, or to eat, or by dynamite fishing – which kills everything.
