man eaten by crocodile

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A drunk man was brutally killed by as many as eight crocodiles when he tried to touch one of them at a wildlife sanctuary in northeastern Mexico.

The drunk dude apparently jumped over a railing so he could touch a crocodile in Lake Carpintero. Uh, smart move. But then he was surprised by a second croc, who grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into the water.

The incident took place in front of 50 other tourists Sunday. The man is yet to be identified.

Reminder: Don’t get drunk and try to pet crocodiles.

While we've had all sorts of submissions about people trying to pet wild animals like lions & tigers I think this is the first such incident involving a crocodile. Thanks, Lewis!
