The sign says it clearly: “Crocodiles, do not swim, do not feed.” However, some vacationers ignore the warning. Either they do not read it or they do not understand.
This is seen in a photograph taken this Friday in the beach sector Tivives, located southwest of Puntarenas, 8 km from the port of Caldera.
Two adult women and a minor entered to bathe in the sea despite the warning of the presence of aggressive reptiles.
In this area of the Pacific is common to observe these reptiles, and according to biologists this is normal because the tourist areas are the habitats of that type of animals, especially in the mouths of rivers, beaches and mangroves, among other types of places near the sea.
