A young swimmer luckily escapes being eaten by a crocodile in Sian Ka’an, Mexico.
A horrifying footage of a boy trying to escape from being caught
by a huge crocodile who was chasing him through the water appeared on
the Internet.
Luckily for the boy, a witted witness to the incident, who was
standing on a nearby bridge, managed to stop the predator by throwing an
object at him. The swimmer reached the shore while the crocodile gave
chase.
Some also believe that the boy was lucky as the reptile is fed
regularly by tourists and fishermen and wasn’t feeling hungry. Locals
themselves do not swim in these waters as it’s to dangerous.
Manuel Cerrara, who shot the video said, “Unfortunately, that
crocodile already associated us with food and as the video shows the boy
was saved because the crocodile is well fed and chased at a pace that
allowed him to reach the shore.”
Crocodile attacks on people are common in places where large
crocodilians are native and human populations live. Only six of the 23
crocodilian species are considered dangerous to adult humans, and only
individuals 2 metres in length or more represent a serious danger to
humans, as smaller crocodiles are considered incapable of killing a
person.
However, even the smallest species can inflict painful bites
requiring stitches if harassed. In addition, a small child may be of a
similar size to the prey of some of the crocodilian species incapable of
preying on adult humans. The two species with the most well-known and
documented reputation for preying on humans are the Nile crocodile and
saltwater crocodile.see vidoo Boy Flees In Panic As Giant Croc Chases Him Through Water
