Amateur footage has emerged showing a swimmer frantically trying to reach the beach while being chased by a giant crocodile in Mexico. Panicked tourists on the overhanging Boca Paila bridge in Sian Ka'an watched in terror, as the man made a beeline for dry land. A quick-thinking observer intervened, throwing an object at the creature and stopping it in its tracks. The footage is said to be captured by Manuel Carrera. Report by Sarah Kerr.

Trust me, he was going to kill that guy anyway. Crocodilians like to kill stuff and let it rot under a mudbank so it's easier to eat later on.

@@cockroach-spray4685 Crocs if needed can move quick on land

Its great to see someone used their common sense to throw something in instead of people standing there filming
Trust me if that crocodile wanted that swimmer that swimmer would have been dead
It was stalking, and had not yet made up it's mind. If the object was not thrown, there was real potential of a different outcome.
becuse it's not at swimmers pay attention again lol it's at large animal ( don't ask me lol
Croc wasn't hungry. He was in the "You know what, I might get this one and save it for later" type of mood
100% agree. That nonchalant tail wag. Nah bro if he wanted his ass he'd have got it haha.
Frfr they swim as fast as a track star runs on land
Nah, it was more of a curious and cautious type.
The crocodile was scared of the strange object. You can tell because he moves slowly and when they threw that thing, the crocodile’s first action was to bluff bite and swim away. Meaning it wasnt looking for dinner, it was watching to see if the human was as a threat or not, and ONLY THEN would it kill it.
Crocodile can eat as much as they want till they die they won’t feel full same with sharks as long as they have a bite they’ll keep eating until they die
He didnt try at all... was just casually swimming
that guy is lucky the croc was curious and not hungry.
Yes indeed crocodiles can outswim ya humans forever

We saw crocs in the big lagoon in Cancun. They swim up to the restaurants looking for people to toss them scraps. Then you look in the day and see people water skiing in the same lagoon. Nope.
If that crocodile really wanted the man, he could have easily overtaken the man before he got to land. I salute the man for throwing the object!
The poop in the swimmer pants is what scared the crocodile away
Man I was looking for stains in the water!
Lmao
Lmfao’ hahahahahap
No someone threw a deepfreeze at it
the piss in the swimmer's pants is what really scared the crocodile away
Near death experience!!! Hungry or not, imagine what it would feel like to have a massive croc cruising behind you!
I know right all these kids commenting
I would've been swimming faster than Michael Phelps!!
That croc was literally cruising. Ik it swims faster than that. Seems like it was just curious.
Would be worse than my mother in law.
Slowly...taking his sweet time till you can't swim no more!
I love it how when that thing landed next to the croc after that man threw it the croc went for it for a split second
Croc was just stalking him lol 😂it would take just two strong swipes of his tail to reach the man 😭😂
The most epic thing about this video is the person throwing that object with such a good aim O.O He saved the day!!!
TRUE.
If only he didnt throw a native baby he would have been a hero
There's a girl that says "Buena mama!!" which means "good Mom!!" So I'm guessing it was that girl's mom
Not to mention his life!
He was on land already
love how people filmed and watched and only one person had the legitimate desire to not watch someone possibly die
Whoever threw that deserves 100 points and a level up !
Yes it is stalking him obviously. But he doesn't know if he should have desert or not. Pretty relaxed pace it can go much faster.
Even at cruising speed look at how that thing was catching up on him, imagine if it was serious🤕
If that croc really wanted him, it would have swum much faster than it was swimming.
The croc certainly looked like it was about to commit to it just before they threw that object. Not to be captain obvious, but I believe that saved the man's life. Bad news is, that swimmer isn't safe even on the beach. Looked more like he was playing with his food to me. Opportunistic hunters.
@@cipher88101 And it would have got him on land anyway. Those f**kers are fast out of water.
Master Exploder he died from a stingray what are you talking about.
@@jakefromstatefarm8407 can u not read
Not really. Crocs don't like to use too much energy, they prefer to lie in wait and ambush unsuspecting prey. They're more likely to move quickly when protecting their young or their territory. They can go upwards of a year without food.
Croc : "it's a prank bro, prank bro ha ha ha'" 🤣
Whoever threw that object saved this man's life.
At this time,That guy can even beat Micheal Phelps.
Never!!
That crocodile was curious crocs can out swim humans forever
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thats true

Don't think the Croc was trying too hard. If it'd swam any slower it'd be going backwards. :-l
It was full from eating another swimmer
Graham Palmer, it might have been a tidal thing, cos crocs tend to go with the flow (as it burns less calories.)
Lmfao😂 WAHAHAHAHHA
You know crocodiles can’t swim as fast as fishes right? They live in shallow lakes and such because they like to hide and snatch you, but they can’t chase you even in the water.
Filmed on new mexican tech the flip phone
I wonder if the swimmer even knew? Can you imagine swimming not knowing when your about to get attacked by it/looking back. Think I would of gone into shock or complete panic mode
If the croc was chasing him this video wouldn’t be allowed on CZcams.
Let's be real - if that crocodile wanted to attack him, it would have.
Bohdi Byles crocs only swim 15 km per hour dumbass. Pretty much same as a human.
@@Freshy_Jones "pretty much same as a human" I doubt that
Its not as reckless as you think it is, obviously the croc thought he might have been a threat since humans arent exactly small.
Freshy Jones that’s 3 times as fast as most humans can swim
The Croc would have to catch him don't you think he was trying! If he caught up to the swimmer the man would have been dead meat.
That was not a croc.That was his wife in disguise.
momthegreatest lol
momthegreatest u r lucky to have her
🤣

Nah, not in disguise. Just his wife taking a quick skinny dip.
I learned something new today. I didn't know that crocodiles were in Mexico.
Cali girl got attacked 2 days ago in Puerto Vallarta.
Crocodile: Ill give the dude 3 min head start
Yeah he wasnt hungry but the item thrown in the water definitely saved the guy.
That croc would still have tried otherwise.
This is why I don't go into lakes, rivers, or the ocean. I'll stay in my tub.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats kinda sad. The ocean in particular is amazing and i couldnt live with out it. So many everyday tasks are so much more dangerous too. Like driving for one. You have better chance of dying from a falling coconut then by anything in the ocean.
@@posternutbag4415 that depends what part of the ocean genius, new Smyrna beach Florida is the shark bite capital of the world. Bull sharks are way more aggressive than others.
@@freshyjones9062 No bro even at New Symrna Beach, your chance of actually getting bite by a shark is minuscule. EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BRINGING UP ONE OF SHARK BITe CAPITALS OF THE WORLD. And yes bulls are the most aggressive but great whites account for most fatalities and its actually black tips that are most predominant at New Symerna. There was 57 total shark attacks worldwide last year! Compare that to how many people went in the ocean and chance of being attacked is minuscule. How many people have gone to that beach? There been 244 attacks ever. Millions and millions have gone to that beach. Sure some areas and beaches have more sharks then others but so many everyday activities are so much more dangerous by the numbers then shark attacks. People are just terrified by the animal and the idea of being eaten alive even though sharks almost never eat people. If they bite its almost always a mistake and 1 and done.
Noop
Croc wasn't even chasing him.If it were he wouldn't have made it.
The croc was chasing him but cautiously as it was unsure what it was chasing. Crocodiles don't swim fast when chasing another swimming target. The fast reflexes are only when they are ambushing a land animal venturing into the water
@@shrujanamsyama9940 Nope you wrong.These Crocs are already familiar with human presence in their water ways.Seems more like it just wasn't interested in eating him.
Thank you whoever threw that object. May the Lord bless you
Seems like the Lord already has.
Crocodiles can swim extremely fast when they want to, it was more curious than anything

😂😂😂😂 hey bloke you in the wrong river buddy.
when u think about it everything in nature moves fast and quick so it must be strange for wild animals to see something expending so much energy making so much noise and moving so slow
Well we’re not evolved to be great swimmers, but we’ve evolved to be great at throwing objects and using tools so I think it’s pretty badass that something primal like throwing a large object a long distance rattled the croc.

I live in Darwin Australia and I've seen crocs swim ! These things can shift when they want to and can cause wakes in water at top speed , trust me this wasn't hungry !
Hey mate, this is a North American croc and they're not as aggressive as the Saltys you have down under! You have to be very careful where you swim in Australia or you'll become some Crocs tucker!
We do have crocodiles in Florida, but they hardly ever bother people, more like the other way around. If that is a crocodile, then more than likely it is related to our American crocodiles.

I really have my doubts....the crocs are the stealth masters of the water.... getting as close to the prey as possible in the first place(ambush)..... and also not so likely that the human in a panic or distress mode can outswim the cold- blooded assassin....
When u're from Africa, u dont swim in rivers and lakes unless u really need to survive.. and beaches u just go to those that are safe .. so i really dont get ppl swimming on crocodile infested
