Sinaloa.- A crocodile almost four meters long that left the El Continente lagoon and went to the houses of the community SpringNavolato, was trapped by some inhabitants during the early hours of yesterday Saturday. This reptile is said to have eaten between 10 to 11 dogs, which caused alarm.
Marco Antonio Juárez Salgueiro, coordinator of Civil Protection of Navolato, indicated that due to its size and weight it was not easy to get the reptile to the unit in which It was transferred to the Culiacán Zoo. In a video you can see that six people can not support their weight.
In an attempt to wriggle free, the crocodile hit the unit with its head, causing a scratch on it.
the municipal official called on the residents of this community not to go out to the patios at night, unless it is an emergency; talk to the children about how dangerous these animals are. In order to prevent serious incidents, be told not to try to take away pets they have caught because it is too risky.
He explained that they have received several reports from this community that the crocodiles are close to the houses, but when they arrive they have already entered the lagoon and it is very difficult and very risky to catch them there.
He indicated that sightings have been reported in other areas of Navolato where there are drains and canals. Some farmers, when watering their plots, have been scared when they see crocodiles very close, so they are recommended to take extreme precautions and, above all, not to harm these animals and call 911 to report them.
The crocodile is already in the Culiacán Zoo. It will be the authorities of this place who decide where to release him.
