A young male had been swimming in murky water when all of a sudden a crocodile emerged near the surface. Immediately the man frantically swam towards the shore to get away but the reptile wasn’t keen on letting him go.
A lurking crocodile can easily make a fun summer day morph into a terror-filled one. A swimmer in Mexico learned how scary a crocodile encounter really is.
The young male had been swimming in murky water when all of a sudden a crocodile emerged near the surface. Immediately the man frantically swam towards the shore to get away.
The reptile, however, wasn’t keen on letting him go. Instead, it followed the male and kept a steady, albeit slow pace behind him.
Both crocodile and man headed towards the sand. The male made it there first.
The crocodile still wasn’t quite ready to give up and continued moving towards the shore until someone threw an object at it. That seemed to spook the reptile, causing it to flee in the opposite direction.
The terrifying ordeal was caught on camera and the video has been released to warn people not to feed crocs or gators so they don’t associate humans with food.
In another recent report, a 9-year-old named James Barney Jr. was attacked by a gator at a lakefront park in St. Cloud, Florida. The brave boy used all his strength to pry the alligator’s jaw open to stop the attack.
