## Resource

Israel’s considering a jaw-dropping new prison security plan: digging moats and filling them with Nile crocodiles, inspired by the now-shuttered “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida. The national security minister backs the idea, while the environmental minister reclassifies crocs as “tended wild animals” to make it legally possible. But critics—including the nature authority and the environmental ministry’s legal advisor—are raising red flags: it’s not just legally shaky, it’s also ecologically dubious and lacks precedent. With no solid evidence and a history of failed experiments, this crocodile prison may be more fantasy than fortress.
