**Gustavo Fring*,*** originally named **Tuco Salamanca**, is a young Morelet’s crocodile and supporting character of the Urban Rescue Ranch. He was rescued from a safari park in March of 2023 when he was found malnourished after being bullied out of food by a Nile crocodile. He is only a temporary resident, as his adult size and needs will be too large to house on the Ranch. Despite this, he will be staying on the ranch for quite a while. He will resides in The Barn, in a large reptile enclosure after he comes back from Y0X2 Reptiles. When fully grown, Gustavo will become the apex predator of the Ranch, even outcompeting the likes of Kevin for the title of top predator.

## Crocodile

### Appearance

When taken in in "Big Ounce Rescues a Crocodile (and eats him),” he was very skinny, missing half of his teeth, and showing early signs of metabolic bone disease. As of "Dababy Meets his Wife (at Remington's Funeral)" the base of his tail is larger, his neck is wider, not as skinny, his teeth are growing back, and is not as shaky (being shaky is a sign of metabolic bone disease). In "How to Steal Dinosaur Eggs (I Die)" Gustavo upgraded from pinkies to tilapia. In the season finale, Uncle Ben claims he will be moved to a larger place to swim.

### Story

He was taken in because of neglect; he was housed with a Nile Crocodile because his caretakers did not know how to house him. He was given to uncle ben in a plastic bin with a single heating pad, with no lighting or other heating devices. Uncle Ben questioned if he should have even posted the footage. He used to be in a relatively small tank in Uncle Ben's home with some rosy-red minnows. He was then moved to a larger and more based tub with 150 rosy-red minnow friends and a real coyote skull. Gustavo Fring was then housed in a larger tub located In The Nether. Due to it getting cold around october of 2023, he moved to Yox2 Reptiles over the winter. When he gets too big for the ranch he will be brought to an animal sanctuary.

Gustavo has been sent to Yox2 Reptiles for the winter since his water has been getting too cold.
