Rare mcatmcat Posted November 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Fortunately, no-one was hurt in the latest croc snare and tourists ended up creeping up behind the reptile as it entered the sea to take holiday snaps before it disappeared under the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandc4e Posted November 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 13, 2016 okay this freaks me out! How frequent is this occuring? I'm seeing that Cozumel can be a crocodile haven. Yup, scared in Maine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMEBEECH Posted November 13, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 13, 2016 okay this freaks me out! How frequent is this occuring? I'm seeing that Cozumel can be a crocodile haven. Yup, scared in Maine now. Not very often. This is actually only the second one I have heard of down there. There is video on youtube of the one at Mr. Sanchos.

smokinmike Posted November 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Not unheard of on the golf course but not many crocs further south. Maybe he got lost - makes for a great story though! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted November 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Given that the eco-reserve with crocs is just south of Palancar, it isn't surprising that one would show up on occasion. Mr. Sanchos getting a croc is a bit more surprising, but not unheard of. No need to be scared of west side beaches. These sightings are very rare.

Kokomos Posted November 13, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Our 1st trip to Cozumel they captured once at the entrance to Paradise beach. It was about 6ft long. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldenmusic Posted November 13, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I found a video on YouTube of a croc on Palancar but it was posted July 2016. So this must have been another one? It was maybe 6-7 feet and it headed directly for the water as tourists were taking pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
