Ataque de IgnoranZIHa

It's too bad this local government does not handle these situations better. Actually, having a population of crocs that are harmless for the most part and easy to see could be a bonus for tourism. Some ecotourism tours could be given about them with some education on the do's and don'ts instead of the fear-mongering. Lots of missed opportunities for the Zihua-Ixtapa area for this kind of tourism!

Precisely. And killing the two small crocs that lived in the canal by the museum instead of simply putting signage there is a perfect example of just such a missed opportunity. Tourists marveled at seeing them there. A photo of them is a thousand times more interesting than photos of painted cement letters, unless you're a cement company owner.
