This horrifying scene occurs as a large crocodile carries a dead man’s corpse in its mouth after the victim disregarded advice not to swim in a known Mexican lagoon.
At the Laguna del Carpintero in Tampico, tourists had gathered to watch turtles swim, but were startled to see a crocodile swimming by them with the man’s corpse in its jaws on Thursday.
The guy, who has not been identified, was allegedly attacked because he disregarded advice not to swim in the area due of the presence of crocodiles.
The crocodile was then observed swimming under a platform where people were watching turtles in the lagoon with its dead carcass clenched in its jaws.
When police were contacted, they found that the crocodile had partially consumed the corpse before it could be retrieved after dragging it into a sewer.
According to the authorities, the deceased was a 30-year-old guy.
Although the crocodile was subsequently caught, its subsequent fate was kept a secret.
Numerous individuals have been victims of crocodile attacks in the lagoon, which is well known for these assaults.
A lady apparently died in June in the same lagoon while doing some beachside laundry.
The sight of the crocodile swimming with the woman’s lifeless corpse in its mouth horrified witnesses.
A crocodile stalked a guy swimming in the lagoon in October 2020 before dragging him below and devouring him.
The unidentified guy, who is thought to be in his 50s or 60s, allegedly disregarded a notice instructing swimmers not to enter the area.
In another part of Mexico, a crocodile assaulted an eight-year-old child two weeks ago in Ciudad Madero, but the youngster was rescued when her father dove into the water and chased the animal away.
Fernando Martinez Desiderio, the girl’s father, was able to save her life, and despite her wounds, doctors anticipate that she will fully recover.
