cocodrilo
An American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) from Rio de Lagartos, Mexico. It was a surprise to see this one because they had become uncommon in the area. We were told they were making a comeback but were still far from common. when we saw him some locals had found him first for whatever reason one of them wanted to see if the croc would snap at his flip flop if he threw it in. The croc promptly took the flip flop in its mouth and showed no intention of letting it go so the locals took a long stick and tried to extract the footwear. As soon as they started prodding at the flipflop the croc lost its patience snapped at the stick and swam off. Luckily i was ready and got this shot. I took this during my trip to the yucatan in 2007.
