A man almost died after swimming in a river with crocodiles

The thrill-seeker decided to swim in the pond of the Lagoon of Illusions nature reserve in the city of Villahermosa (Tabasco state, Mexico) and almost lost his limbs.

An eyewitness to the risky swim captured how the swimmer covered several meters and was overtaken by a crocodile near the shore. Fortunately, the swimmer was lucky. He made it to land, receiving a small wound near the shore that required medical treatment.

The author of the video said that at least seven reptiles were not far from the man at the time of the swim. The swimmer did not specify what goals he pursued by committing a risky act.
