Due to the graphic nature of the situation, the video went viral on social networks, and even the reaction of both the person who is recording it and another in the distance is of desperation and terror just when the crocodile caught the man.
According to the authorities of the city of Tampico, the animal dragged the man to a deep area, so after a call to 911, an operation had to be carried out to rescue the man’s body, which had injuries deep in the neck, arm, and chest.
It is worth mentioning that in the Laguna del Carpintero in Tampico, it is forbidden to swim or perform any type of water activities, due to the presence of crocodiles.
