That croc was at least 14' and nobody dared enter the water while it patrolled the surf. Are you saying we want them living on Playa La Madera? And you also want tourism. I take it it's ecotourism you're looking for.

I hope we receive visitors who are cognizant about where they are and RESPECTFUL of the local fauna. If you need a sanitized place to swim perhaps a pool is your best bet. Florida has millions of tourists a year and lots more aggressive gators than we have cocodrilos, yet they manage just fine without jumping to remove gators from a beach whenever they appear on one since it is part of their natural habitat.

Crocs don't live at Playa La Madera. There is nothing for them there except the two ducks for eating. I suspect it simply wanted to sun itself for a while since the water is cooler than the temp cocodrilos prefer. All the human activity in the bay makes it more difficult to find a place they feel comfortable. I don't think it's asking to much to educate our visitors (signage would help) that we have cocodrilos here and that they be respected, not removed.
